Vegan Chocolate, Oatmeal and Peanut Butter Muffins

tab:Ingredients]
Yield: 9 regular size muffins
cooking spray or line the muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
2 In a large bowl combine together the flour, oatmeal, cocoa powder, sugar and baking powder.
3 In a small sauce pan, over low heat, melt peanut butter in milk, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
4 Once the peanut butter mixture is cool, incorporate it into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5 Spoon the batter into the prepared pan filling it to the top of each cup.
6 The above batter was enough for 9 muffins. So I filled the remaining 3 cups with water to ensure even baking of the muffins. I took out mine from the oven after 16 minutes, but I think 13-15 minutes should be perfect. I felt that in this recipe the smell of the muffins is an indicator of the doneness in addition to the toothpick test. I started smelling a burnt cocoa smell and that’s when I removed the muffins. So the tops were a bit crusty and it had turned slightly back. Either have a close watch or reduce the oven temperature to 350F and bake it accordingly.
2 As mentioned in the Procedure, either adjust the oven temperature or the baking time to get perfect muffins.

Hi, i’m 1st time to your website. So many lovely, healthy recipes. I’m new to baking & cooking and have a question on the baking powder measurement for the peanut butter muffin. Is it really 1 tablespoon or 1 teaspoon? I’ve followed a few muffin recipes and have only used 1- 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Hope you can advise me. Thanks.
Thanks Puvanes. I too had the exact doubt when I first saw the recipe. It is 1 tablespoon and the muffins turned out good.

I think tyring these with almond butter instead of Peanut butter might enhance the taste. Hmmm.. Will try it over the weekend.
