Best Crunchy Peanut Butter Muffins Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk both flours, the baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk 1/3 cup peanut butter, the milk, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl; stir into the flour mixture until just combined.
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them three-quarters of the way. Tap the bottom of the pan lightly on the counter to smooth out the batter. Bake until the muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
• Using a melon baller or teaspoon, scoop out a shallow hole in the middle of each muffin. Melt the remaining 2/3 cup peanut butter in the microwave until loose, stirring halfway through, 45 to 60 seconds. Spread the peanuts on a plate. Dip the top of 1 muffin in the melted peanut butter, letting the excess drip off, then dip it in the chopped peanuts to coat. Transfer to the rack and repeat with the remaining muffins.
• Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon jelly or jam into the hole in each muffin. Let set 5 minutes.

CRUNCHY PEANUT BUTTER MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F
• For the muffins, stir the flour with the baking powder, cinnamon and salt until well blended and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, beat the peanut butter with the oil, sugar and banana. Add in the milk and egg and beat until smooth.
• Pour this mixture into the center of the dry ingredients in the first bowl and stir with a large spoon until just moistened. Don't overmix!
• Line muffin tins with paper or foil liners and fill the cups 2/3rds full with batter. (Or just spray the muffin tins very well with cooking spray so the muffins don't stick).
• For the topping, stir the cinnamon into the sugar. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the sugar until the mixture is crumbly. Lightly stir in the peanuts; set aside.
• Sprinkle the topping evenly over each batter-filled cup.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the muffins spring back lightly if pressed in center.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease bottoms only of 12 regular-size muffin cups with shortening or place paper baking cup in each.
• In large bowl, beat eggs lightly with fork. Stir in milk and oil.
• In medium bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. With fork or pastry blender, cut in peanut butter until mixture looks like meal or coarse flour. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. (Remember, no extra strokes to avoid toughness and tunnels.) Spoon half of batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about one-third full.
• Spoon 1 teaspoon jelly onto batter in each cup. Divide remaining batter evenly into muffin cups. Wipe any spilled batter from pan.
• Bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven to cooling rack. Loosen muffins from cups; remove muffins with spatula.
