- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup guava preserves
- 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat together peanut butter, melted butter, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in milk and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter. Add 1 generous teaspoon of guava preserves to the center of each cup.
- Spoon remaining batter over the preserves to cover completely.
- Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top of each muffin if desired.
- Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the edge comes out clean.
- Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure not to overmix the batter for best results.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
