How to Make 4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Muffins
Step 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Add peanut butter, eggs, honey, and baking soda to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2. Use a large spoon to combine the ingredients well.
Step 3. Scoop batter into prepared muffin tins about ¾ of the way full.
Step 4. Bake on the center rack for 15-18 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
Tips + Notes
- The batter is thick and won’t pour into your tins like typical muffin batter.
- Your peanut butter should be just peanuts and salt, and require stirring when you first open the jar. The no-stir peanut butter is thicker and won’t work well in this recipe.
- Instead of using paper liners, you can grease your muffin tins well and scoop the batter directly into them.
- Feel free to add chocolate chips to this recipe! They would be a delicious addition.
- These muffins freeze very well. Store them in an airtight container in the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for 20-30 minutes or microwave them before enjoying.
