5. Bake to Perfection

6. Cool & Enjoy

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. They’ll firm up slightly as they cool, developing the perfect soft, fudgy texture.

Chef’s Tips

  • Use natural peanut butter: Avoid processed peanut butters with added oils and sugars—they can alter the texture.

    Stir natural peanut butter well so its oils are fully incorporated before measuring.
  • Room temperature eggs help create a fluffier texture.

  • Customize your mix-ins: Swap chocolate chips for chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for contrast.
