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 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.

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 :)
