Equipment

  • Whisk or spatula
  • Muffin Tin
  • Paper liners or greased muffin tin
  • Toothpick

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter runny or crunchy based on preference
  • 1/2 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, and baking powder. This creates a uniform dry mixture to combine with the wet ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, stir the peanut butter, milk, eggs, and honey until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy, with a fragrant nutty aroma filling the air.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold everything together using a spatula or whisk, just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy but well incorporated.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. The batter should look slightly thick but scoopable, with a matte finish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with no wet batter clinging.
  • Remove the muffins from the oven, and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm while the centers are still sticky and gooey.
  • Once cooled slightly, enjoy these moist, nutty muffins with crusty edges and tender centers—perfect for snacking or breakfast.
