    Sugar Free Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Muffins

     
    It is a nice surprise to bite into your muffin and find something unexpected.
    This is especially true when you hit some warm peanut butter.
     

    What I like about adding peanut butter to my muffins is that you can just eat them the way they are.
    I mean, if there is a warm bit of peanut butter inside of your muffin you really do not need to put butter or anything else on top of it.
    You could easily just cut the muffin in half and spread the peanut butter as well.

     

    We are going to place the peanut butter into the batter of each cup cake before we bake it.

    However, you could easily use a pasty bag with an attachment and add the peanut butter after baking. This would allow you to extrend the peanut butter to the top of the muffin from the middle.
     

    There are other options for this recipe as well.
    Make this recipe gluten free by using gluten free flour instead of regular flour (see packaging for adding a binder such as xanthum gum if needed). Or, you can make this recipe low carb by using low carb Carbalose flour.

    • Add the flour and baking soda to the bowl and then the egg, yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil in addition.
