Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Muffins

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Muffins not only taste great on their own they also have a blackberry syrup and chopped peanuts topping. Whoa!

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Muffins are the brainchild of a sweets and peanut butter lovin' aficionado - Me!

The flavors go on and on because after the muffin ingredients are combined and baked there is a delectable topping.

Blackberry jelly is melted to make a syrup and after it is brushed on the baked muffins they are sprinkled with finely chopped peanuts. Really good!

🥘 Ingredients

• Whole wheat pastry flour adds fiber and nutrients to the main base of these muffins.
• Oil or muffin cups to keep the muffins from sticking to the pan.
• Dairy-Free butter adds needed liquid and a buttery taste.
• Creamy peanut butter adds moisture to the mix and a wonderful nut butter flavor.
• Coconut sugar adds a different type of sweet flavor in a very understated way.
• Dairy-free milk adds flavor and necessary liquid.
• Baking powder s a leavening agent.
• Egg replacer is the substitute for eggs that also adds liquid and rising power.
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips add a mild crunch and a sweetened chocolate flavor.
• For the topping:
• Blackberry jelly is a wonderfully sweet berry that acts as a topping and it holds on the chopped nuts.
• Peanuts are for flavor, looks, and texture.

🔪 Instructions

• Lightly oil a tin for 12 muffins or use paper muffin cups.
• Prepare the egg replacer and set aside.
• Stir together the flour, sugar and baking powder.
• Cut the peanut butter and softened butter in with the flour mixture to make small little crumbles.

• Add the vanilla almond milk and prepared egg replacer mixture. Stir just until incorporated.
• Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Fill the tins about ½"-¾" full.
• Bake at 400° for 23 minutes.
• Take out of the oven and let cool 10 minutes.
• Remove the muffins from the muffin tin and set aside to put on the topping.

For the Topping

• Melt ¼ cup blackberry jelly to make a syrup.
• Brush the top of each muffin with the syrup.
