Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter powder
  • 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, peanut butter powder, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer peanut butter flavor, you can add 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter to the wet ingredients.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts or add-ins like dried fruit.
  • Ensure your protein powder is suitable for baking to achieve the best texture.
