Ingredients

Peanut Butter Filling

8 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup creamy peanut butter

½ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

½ teaspoon pure Vanilla extract

Muffins

½ cup vegetable oil (canola or avocado oil works too)

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup Prairie Farms Chocolate Peanut Butter Milk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

⅔ cup sour cream

2 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup cocoa powder

1 ½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips or chunks (leave ½ cup for topping)

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners (or lightly grease and flour). (recipe makes about 16 muffins)

 

  1. Peanut Butter Filling: In a microwave safe bowl, microwave the 8oz cream cheese and ½ cup peanut butter together in 10 second intervals until it stirs and combines easily.

  2. Add the ½ cup sugar, 1 egg, and ½ teaspoon vanilla. Whisk all together until smooth then set aside.

  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together ½ cup oil, 1 cup sugar, and ½ cup Prairie Farms Chocolate Peanut Butter Milk. Stir in 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla until combined. Add the ⅔ cup sour cream and whisk into the mixture.

  4. In a separate, medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, ½ cup cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon salt.

  5. Add the flour mixture into the wet mixture and slowly fold together until almost combined.

 

  1. Add 1 ½ cups chocolate chips or chunks and fold into the batter.

 

  1. Scoop some of the chocolate muffin batter into each muffin cup about ½ way full. Next spoon a heaping spoonful of the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate batter in each cup.

 

  1. Finish with topping each muffin cup with chocolate batter over the peanut butter layer. Each muffin should be filled to the top.

 

  1. Top each muffin with a few chocolate chips/chunks.

 

  1. Bake at 350 degrees for 22-25 minutes (toothpick inserted in center should come out mostly clean)

  2. Set aside until cool and enjoy!
