AMAZING!!! I enjoyed more than my toddler! Thank you!
Yay, so happy to hear that!
How long would these bake to be mini muffins?
Probably a couple minutes less, I’ve never tried sorry!
i just did them as mini muffins for the same time, 15 min, and they turned out perfect!
Awesome, that is great to know!
My kids and husband loved these muffins – will definitely be making again!
My toddler and husband loved them! Thank you for sharing this ❤️
Yay! That makes me happy to hear!
I was unsure about these and they’re really good!! Will make again!
Are these ok to freeze?
Absolutely delicious by the way
Loved them! Do you think blueberries instead of chocolate chips would be good?
That would probably be good!
Made this twice. It’s a hit for my 1 year old. I also like it too . Definitely will be making more. My son asks for it . He’s like mama muffins lol super cute . Thank you
Aww I’m so glad this was a hit!!
Can these be frozen or how do you store them?
Yes! You can freeze for 3 months 🙂
Made mine with almond butter and they came out very tasty! What a great recipe!
Yay!!
Could I substitute sun butter? My son’s preschool has a no nut policy but I’d love to put these in lunchbox for his school snack!
For sure!
These are delicious! They did come out a bit oily for some reason. Not sure why. The only thing I could think was I did not use a mixer because I don’t have one. The batter seemed well mixed though. They were still very tasty, and my picky eater loved it!
Not sure why that happened, maybe the type of peanut butter? I am happy you liked them!
Easy recipe. Works great. Didn’t have vanilla essence so swapped for some cocoa powder.
These were very tasty out of the oven. However they did go oily over night. I used Kraft natural peanut butter. Do you use regular peanut butter?
Thanks for the recipe!!
Do you use natural peanut butter for these or creamy peanut butter? Thank you!
I use creamy!
Hi there! How are these stored best?? Trying them now 🙂
If I don’t want the peanut butter in this, can I leave that out completely, and if so, would that change the measurements for the rest of the ingredients or leave it the same still ?
The muffins wouldn’t turn out without adding the peanut butter, I’m sorry!
They are so good. Has anybody baked them for more than 15 min?
I have made these SEVERAL times. Always a win. I will say my 3 kids (4,3 & 1) devour a batch of 24 mini muffins with no problem but won’t a batch of regular ones (lol?).
Lately I’ve been changing it up with blueberries and white chocolate chips with sprinkles. We eat them for breakfast or afternoon snack. Really hoping they won’t get tired of them with how often we make them! Great recipe!
Loved these! I altered it a tad. Used half regular peanut butter and half chocolate peanut butter (no chocolate chips), used egg whites, added 3 dried dates and granola on top! Absolutely delicious!
