Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Muffins Recipes

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SWIRL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 12 hole regular size muffin tin.
• In a bowl whisk the eggs and add in the sugar. Stir in the applesauce, milk and vanilla.
• Mix in the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder.
• Fold in the chocolate chips, you can use any chocolate chips it just might alter the points, 3Tbsp of lily's is 7SP.
• Divide batter evenly over the 12 muffin cups.
• In a small bowl melt the peanut butter in the microwave, I do it for about 35 seconds, you want it thin enough to drizzle.
• Drizzle the melted peanut butter on top of each muffin, use a toothpick or similar to swirl the PB around, it will start to harden so do this process quickly.
• Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, let cool for 5 minutes.
• Muffins are best stored in the fridge after day 1 and they will freeze well.
• *Note- you can substitute powdered PB if you'd like, the points for the regular PB I used is 8SP
