Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chunk Muffins
Source:17 and baking 

Adapted from Baking Bites
Makes 12 standard muffins

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup brown sugar
6 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup peanut butter (I used natural, smooth pb)
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
3/4 cup dark chocolate chunks *
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line 12 standard muffin tins.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar in a large bowl. In another bowl, mix the butter, peanut butter, eggs, and milk until smooth. Pour the peanut butter mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
Fill each muffin tin to the top to ensure a rounded dome top. Bake 20 minutes or until a tester comes out clean and the tops spring back when lightly tapped. (I just slightly underbaked mine because that’s how I like them.) Cool on a wire rack.
* To make chocolate chunks instead of using chocolate chips, I used a serrated knife to chop up a bar of dark chocolate.
