Description

Mini chocolate peanut butter muffins with chocolate outside and a creamy filling inside, plus a touch of sea salt on the top!


Ingredients

Scale

275 grams all purpose flour (2 1/8 cups)
100 grams cocoa powder (1 cup)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 large eggs
210 grams granulated sugar (1 cup)
150 grams plain Greek yogurt (1 5.3-ounce container)
60 grams canola oil (1/3 cup)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
130 milliliters water (2/3 cup), plus more as needed
150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
225 grams creamy peanut butter (1 cup)


Instructions

Preheat oven to 375° F / 190° C. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan* with cooking spray, or line with paper liners. Set aside until ready to use.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, use a whisk or electric hand mixer to combine eggs, granulated sugar, Greek yogurt, canola oil, and vanilla extract.

With a rubber spatula, fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Slowly add water and combine until smooth. If batter seems too thick to spoon, add additional water 1 tablespoon at a time.

Add chocolate chips and stir to combine.

Spoon muffin batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle each muffin with sea salt.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove pan from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Remove cooled muffins from the pan.

Fit a disposable piping bag with a 1/4-inch round metal tip. Fill bag with one cup of peanut butter.

Turn each muffin upside down and inject it with the peanut butter**, taking care not to overfill. Use a butter knife to scrape away any excess peanut butter.

Serve immediately.

Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.

 

Notes

This recipe makes approximately 28-30 mini muffins, or 12-14 standard-size muffins.

*You can use a silicone mini muffin pan for this recipe, or a standard metal mini muffin tin. If using a metal tin, I suggest lining it with paper liners to prevent the muffins from sticking.

** To make the process easier, you can use a knife or metal skewer to pre-pierce a hole into each muffin bottom. Then simply insert piping tip into the pre-made hole and fill.
