If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I’m a huge fan of anything chocolate and peanut butter — and these incredible muffins are no exception. And the fact that they’re just so pretty? It’s the icing (crumbs?) on the proverbial cake. Or muffin.
Yields about 16 muffins
Directions
Prepare the Muffins
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Line muffin pans with paper liners and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, oil, sugar, eggs, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla until combined.
3. Add milk and cocoa powder. Whisk until fully combined.
4. Switch to a sturdy spoon and stir in flour. Mix until completely smooth.
5. Spoon batter into prepared muffin pans, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Set aside.
Prepare the Crumbs
1. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl until the mixture has the texture of a very loose dough.
2. Divide the crumbs over the muffins, breaking into small pieces as you top them.
3. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the tops are firm.
Notes:
These muffins freeze well in an airtight container or bag.

I would recommend using a non-dairy milk or even apple juice. Not sure how it would come out with water.
