I love this muffin recipe because it is so easy to do. If you have a young one who is learning to bake, this is the perfect beginner recipe that is quick and delicious.

  2. In a small mixing bowl, mix peanut butter, egg, and milk.
  3. Add peanut butter mixture to flour mixture and stir until blended.
  4. Fill muffin tin with batter about 3/4 full.

HOW TO STORE PEANUT BUTTER MUFFINS

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. You can also store these muffins in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.

You can freeze these muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 months. To warm them back up, cover with a paper towel and warm them in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or until warmed at your desired temperature.

PEANUT BUTTER MUFFIN MODIFICATIONS

This recipe is a lower calorie recipe and has a light peanut buttery taste. If the calories don’t bother you, consider adding in a few of these ingredients to make them even tastier:

  • chocolate chips
  • banana
  • almond slivers
  • crushed walnut

For an even healthier version, you can substitute all-purpose flour for almond flour. It’s a gluten-free flour and higher in protein.
