Steps:

  • **Additional Information: * I have even doubled the recipe...It works just fine. (I always use Extra-Crunchy 'Skippy' peanut butter.) **If you want to lower the carbs. by 5g you could use 1/3 cup of sugar and 1/3 cup sugar substitute i.e.: Splenda granulated sugar. Keep in mind that this will change the texture of the muffins slightly.
