Ingredients
Peanut Butter Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- ½ tsp vanilla
Muffins
- ½ cup avocado oil or vegetable oil or canola oil vegetable oil would also work
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup sour cream
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line 18 muffin cups with cupcake liners (or lightly grease and flour).
- Prepare Peanut Butter Filling first by microwaving cream cheese and peanut butter at 10 second intervals until it is easily stirred and combine.
- Stir in granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla. Set aside.
- In large bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, and milk. Stir in eggs and vanilla until well-combined.
- Gently fold in sour cream until just-combined.
- In separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Fold flour mixture gently into wet mixture, folding until just barely combined. Stir in 1 ½ cup chocolate chips.
- Scoop chocolate muffin batter into prepared muffin tin, filling only ½ full.
- Scoop heaping spoonfuls (I used a heaping 1 ½" cookie dough scoop) peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate batter, then cover with a layer of chocolate batter so that muffin cup is filled ⅔ TO ¾ of the way full.
- Repeat until all batter has been dispersed.
- Sprinkle tops of muffins with remaining chocolate chips.
- Bake on 350F for 22-25 minutes (toothpick inserted in center should come out mostly clean, with a few crumbs.
