Decoration Tips

Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 45g agave syrup
- 95g peanut butter
- 60g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 90ml milk
- 60g chocolate chips
- Prepare the Oven and Molds: Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F). Grease three ramekins or muffin cups to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the eggs, peanut butter, milk, and agave syrup. Stir until all the ingredients are well blended and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour and baking powder into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the muffins tough.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of the muffins before baking.
- Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins or muffin cups. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the ramekins. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Enjoy! These peanut butter and chocolate chip muffins are sure to become a new favorite, offering a delightful blend of flavors that are both comforting and indulgent. Perfect for any time of day, they’re a treat that you can feel good about enjoying!
