Peanut Butter muffins with little bitty Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups mixed in…how can you go wrong with these?
I make these muffins exactly the same as my Nutella Chocolate Chip ones, with a couple substitutions. Mini Reese’s for the chocolate chips, vanilla for the hazelnut extract, and peanut butter for the Nutella. Everything is else is the same, and measurements are the same as well.
And the results? Divine.
A wonderful thing for my family to get up to in the morning.

Looks like a great recipe! Does c mean cups? Plus how many muffins does this make?
Hello Hannah! Yesm “c” is cups :) This recipe made a dozen standard sized muffins.
Thanks so much! I made them today and they were gorgeous! :)
These muffins are *beautiful*! Would it be possible to swap out the peanut butter for Nutella? I have a friend who’s allergic to peanuts
Absolutely! Just swap them out equally. I’ve done that very thing and they turned out great :)

I used the mini version, but you could certainly cut some of the larger ones into chunks and give them a try. :)
