Peanut Butter Mini Muffins

Hey I'm back with more how-to's and recipes from the official M&M's Fun Stuff Cookbook. Today I decided to make "Peanut Butter Mini Muffins" (Weber 78). After baking the last time I've gotten my confidence up and decided to use the recipe and instructions as an outline and take these mini muffins and make them supersized.


Here's what this book said to gather for ingredients:

• 1/3 cup of creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup (or half a stick) of softened butter
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup of buttermilk
• 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 1/4 cups M&M's mini milk chocolate candies

This recipe is a step up from the last because there is no premade dough to use so you have to broader your skills to making it from scratch. This will get me from amateur to starter faster than you can say mini muffins.

Now the first step to making this is to preheat the oven to 350 degrees and to lightly grease your muffin tray or to put foil liners in the trays. After doing this set aside for future preference (Weber 71).

Next, in a large bowl, cream together peanut butter, butter and the sugars until the mix is light and fluffy. Then beat in the egg, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Then in a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually mix in the dry mixture to the rest of the wet ingredients.

After it is well combined evenly disperse the batter into each muffin tin and sprinkle the M&M's on top of each before putting it in the oven. When you are ready put the tray in the oven set the timer for 15-17 minutes depending on the power in your oven. You will know that the muffins are done when you insert a toothpick and take it out and it is clean. As soon as you can take the muffins out of the tin and out them on a wire cooling rack then enjoy!!
