Peanut Butter Muffins

2 c. flour
3 t. baking powder
1/2 c. peanut butter ( I used natural peanut butter.)
1 c. milk
2 eggs
1/2 c. sugar (I used honey.)
1 t. salt

Mix wet ingredients.
Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
Add dry to wet.
Spoon into muffin cups.
Makes 12 muffins.

Bake 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

Adding 6 oz. or more of chocolate chips is a nice addition.
I mixed everything using my stand mixer. A hand mixer would work as well. I would use something more than a spoon b/c the peanut butter can be a bit sticky.
