Peanut Butter Muffins

We are always seeking some new muffin to keep variety in our menu at Baldpate. This muffin was created in 1992 especially for the children that frequent our dining room. .... Lois Smith

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose white flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup peanuts (dry roasted)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup Hershey's peanut butter chips

1/4 cup honey

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)

3 eggs

1-3/4 cup milk

2 teaspoons vanilla

Topping:

Peanut crumbs

2 Tablespoons white sugar

First, make the dry roasted peanuts into large crumbs by chopping with a large knife or just barely processing in food processor (if processed too long, they will become and smooth and gooey).

In a medium mixing bowl, blend together flour, baking powder, salt, 1/4 cup of peanut crumbs, and brown sugar. In separate measure, stir together remaining ingredients, then pour into the flour mix. Stir just until blended.

Preheat oven 375 degrees. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full, then sprinkle each muffin with topping (remaining peanut crumbs and white sugar mixed). Bake for 25 minutes or until muffin tops spring back when lightly touched.

Makes: 2 dozen
