  • 1 egg at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoon oil
  • 100 grams or 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter at room temperature
  • 60 ml or 1/4 cup milk at room temperature
  • 60 ml or 1/4 cup curd or yoghurt at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180 C / 350 F. Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners or butter and flour the cavities . This recipe makes 9 small muffins or 6 larger muffins
  • In a bowl , sift or whisk together all the dry ingredients - flour , salt , baking soda , baking powder.
  • In another bigger bowl , whisk together the egg , oil , peanut butter , milk and curd along with the sugar.
  • Add the dry ingredients to your wet mixture and fold with a spatula ONLY UNTIL combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
  • Divide the batter equally into the cavities of your prepared pan- an ice cream scoop makes this easy. Fill each cavity or liner 2/3 rds full.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes if making 6 muffins ( smaller ) or 22- 25 minutes if making 9 muffins . The muffin will spring back if pressed on top and a toothpick inserted will come out clean.
  • Remove from oven and cool in pan for 5 minutes . Then remove from pan .
  • Enjoy warm or completely cool !

Notes

This recipe makes 9 small muffins or 6 larger ones. 
The recipe can be doubled. 
I used smooth/creamy peanut butter. 
Be careful of over mixing the batter - the muffins will turn out denser .
If not using liners, butter the rims of the cavities as well
My measuring cup is 240 ml.
