Peanut Butter & White Choc Muffins

Hey Guys and Girls! 

Peanut Butter - a glorious substance that is amazing in baked goods, like cookies, muffins, pancakes... just thinking about them makes my mouth water. And as such, this peanut butter muffin will too make yours! As a kid, I never enjoyed PB,. but over the last year, one of my dear friends, Lakshu, has got me addicted by enticing me with PB Cookies, which will too be posted on this blog. So here goes!

This recipe yields 12 Muffins

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp Butter
• 3/4 cup Smooth Peanut Butter
• 3/4 cup Caster Sugar
• 2 eggs, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup Milk
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 1 1/2 cup Plain Flour
• 3/4 cup White Chocolate Chips
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/4 tsp Salt

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a 12 cup Muffin Pan with paper pans and set aside. 
2. Sift the Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda and Salt together. Add the chocolate chips to this mixture and set aside.
3. Beat the Butter and Sugar until slightly pale and creamy. Beat in the Peanut Butter until thick. 
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time until fully incorporated. 
5. Stir in milk and vanilla and beat once again until thick.
6. Fold the entire flour mixture into the butter/milk mixture and make sure the flour is well incorporated. 
7. Pour the muffin mixture into the muffins cups until 3/4's full.
8. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. **
9. Allow to cool, or enjoy warm!

**When I made my muffins, it took close to 25 - 20 minutes, because I was baking cookies at the same time, so at the 15 minute mark, check with a clean skewer/toothpick to see whether its cooked. If its not cooked, place back into the oven for 5 minute intervals until fully cooked.   

This recipe isn't like muffins which are overly sweet. Its got the perfect amount of sugar and Peanut Butter, so like I enjoyed it, I hope you do too!
