PEANUT BUTTER CUP MUFFINS

Category: Muffins

1 1/2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
2 tbsp plus 1/2 cup sugar, divided
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup peanut butter

In a bowl, combine crumbs and 2 tbsp sugar. Stir in butter; set aside. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and remaining sugar. Whisk together egg, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Place peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 20 to 30 seconds or until softened. Fold into batter. Press about 1 tablespoon reserved crumb mixture onto the bottom of 12 ungreased muffin cups. Divide batter evenly between cups. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs. Bake at 400 for 15 to 18 minutes or until a wooden pick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
