Chocolate chunk muffins with DIY peanut butter chips

These muffins rise really nicely and you can very easily make homemade peanut butter chips to go inside them. My mom said she liked that they tasted like those big coffee shop muffins, but they aren't as greasy.

Chocolate chunk muffins:
yield: 12 muffins
Recipe from TopWithCinnamon

Ingredients:
1 2/3 c. flour
1/2 c. cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 c. sugar
2 tbsp + 1 tsp melted butter
6 prunes*  pureed with a tiny bit of hot water until smooth
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 c. yogurt or milk
peanut butter chips ***


Put the first 7 ingredients in a blender until combined. Then add the prunes, eggs, vanilla, and yogurt and blend until smooth. If it isn't blending, just pour the batter into a bowl and use a mixer. Stir in the peanut butter chips. Grease a muffin tin and fill each muffin slot to the top. Bake at 425 F for about 4 minutes and then lower the temperature to 350 and bake for another 15 ish minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

* dates or anything else that's the same consistency would probably work as well.


** Mix 1/2 c. peanut butter and 1/2 c. icing sugar. Spread out evenly on a baking sheet and freeze until firm( about an hour). Then cut it into chunks.
