Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or Spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter smooth or chunky
  • 2 eggs eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease the muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This creates a uniform dry base for the batter.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the peanut butter, eggs, milk, and honey. Mix until smooth, with a creamy, slightly thick texture and a fragrant peanut aroma.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, then gently fold together with a spoon or whisk until just combined. The batter should be thick but moist, with a few streaks of flour remaining.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Use an ice cream scoop for even portions, and you'll see the batter settle smoothly into each cup.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes. The muffins will rise slightly, turn golden on top, and emit a warm, nutty aroma. Insert a toothpick into the center — it should come out clean when done.
  • Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. This helps them set and makes removal easier.
  • Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and let them cool completely. The tops will be slightly crackled and the aroma of roasted peanuts will fill the air.
  • Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They are perfect on their own or with a smear of butter or jam for extra indulgence.
