Who else loves fresh muffins out of the oven? There is just something about the aroma of and taste of homemade muffins. I also love that you can eat cake for breakfast and feel okay about it because it’s disguised as breakfast food. Shout out to the genius that came up with muffins! Not to toot my own horn or anything, but these muffins are delicious! And while blueberry muffins were my go to for a long time, nothing beats chocolate chips and peanut butter chips – together, warm and gooey!
Ingredients
Flour – I used all-purpose flour here, but if you’re looking for a healthier alternative, you can use whole wheat flour! Baking soda and baking powder – we want good leavening ingredients to get a food rise out of these muffins. Butter – unsalted, melted and cooled. Salt – Never forget to use salt, it brings out all the great flavors in your baked goods! Sugar – Granulated white sugar is all you need. Vanilla – Any brand of vanilla extract will do. Eggs – Our binding agent for our muffins! Buttermilk – We want our milk to have some tang to it! If you can’t find any, you can make your own. For every 1 cup of butter milk, use 1 cup of regular milk, 1 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar. Let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes after mixed and when it’s done, it should look thicker and show signs of curdling. Peanut butter chips – you can find them in the baking section of your grocery store! Chocolate chips – semi-sweet, please!

How To Make The Perfect Muffin Dome
Ever wonder how bakeries get their muffins to have those big perfect domes? Here are some tips:
How Do I Know If My Muffins Are Done Baking
Insert a toothpick into the thickest part of your muffin dome. If when removed, the toothpick is clean, your muffins are done. If the toothpick comes out with batter attached to it, bake your muffins for another 5 – 10 minutes at a time, and test again using a new toothpick each time.
Storage
To store muffins or any quick breads, placing them into a sealable bag to protect them from drying out and at room temperature, will keep them for up to 3 days.
Freezing
Muffins can be stored for up to 3 months in the freezer. Wrap your muffins in plastic wrap, aluminum foil or put in a large freezer bag! To reheat, from frozen, place in the microwave for about a minute or until heated through.
