Muffin Wednesday: Peanut Butter Crunch

I know we already made muffins this week, but that was a special occasion. Muffin Wednesday still must go on!

Chris picked out this week's experiment: Peanut Butter Crunch Muffins:
And Josepha assisted in the CE2 kitchen:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease muffin tin.

Topping:
3 T peanut butter
4 T sugar
2 T flour
1/8 t salt

Muffins:
2 c flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 t salt
2 T sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 c milk
1/3 c melted butter

1. Combine peanut butter, sugar, flour and salt. Mix with a fork and set aside.

2. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center.

3. In a third bowl, whisk together the egg, butter and milk. Add to the dry ingredients and stir just until blended.

4. Spoon the batter into a prepared muffin tin, filling two-thirds full. Sprinkle with topping, pressing down slightly with the back of a spoon. Bake for about 20 minutes.

As usual, I doubled this recipe, and it made two dozen.

The dough was very sticky and biscuit-like, and the muffins were a bit biscuit-like as well. They seemed dry but weren't that bad once you bit into them. It helps that we ate them hot from the oven. They were good but not wonderful.

Andy said he was expecting them to be dry, but they kept his mouth moist :)

Chris thought they tasted like Capt. Crunch cereal.

I think everyone enjoyed the midweek treat!
