Buttermilk Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Muffins


What you need,

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
½ cup peanut butter
2 tbsp. butter (as always I used salted butter, if you use unsalted add ½ tsp. salt to the batter!)
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips (I used semisweet, but milk would be good too!)

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray, or you could use paper liners if you like!

In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt if you are using it. Cut the butter and peanut butter into the dry ingredients with a fork until you get coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla. Gently combine the wet ingredients into the dry and stir to just combine. Do not over mix; you don’t want your muffins to be tough!
Fill the greased muffin tin about 2/3 full and bake for 15-17 minutes.

Cool for a couple of minutes in the pan then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
