I think we have been over this before, but I will refresh your memory. I am a huge fan of chocolate and peanut butter. If you have read my blog ever before, you probably know this about me. So it shouldn’t surprise you that I have yet another version of a muffin with chocolate and peanut butter. I had been eying the Cooking Light Triple Chocolate Muffin for awhile, but then Lauren made a version with chocolate peanut butter. I had to make them right away.
My 6 year old loved these. But for once, I think I liked them more. I froze what we didn’t eat the first morning right away. I lived on these for days! Usually I leave the frozen muffins as treats for my 6 year old, but not these! I need to make more so he has a chance to have them.
Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Muffins
Slightly Adapted from Keep It Sweet
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg
1 Tbls red wine vinegar
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 12 cup muffin tin with non-stock spray or liners.
Combine flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl mix together water, canola oil, egg, and vinegar. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Pour into muffins tin.
Microwave peanut butter for 20 seconds to make it easy to swirl. Drop a teaspoonful into the center of each muffin. Using a knife or toothpick swirl into muffin. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before serving.

ok – you really got me here. These look incredible and I am going straight to the pantry to see if I have the ingredients to make these guys! NICE!
Oh my heavens. I totally hoard muffins in the freezer…these would be a breakfast feast!!
So glad you also liked the muffins! I wish I still had some in my kitchen.
Loving that peanut butter swirl!
Best combo ever! I’m being told that it’s national peanut butter day so perfect post for the day! These look great!
I would never be able to resist these guys. Peanut butter is my weakness…
I’m interested in the vinegar addition, neat idea and I’m eager to try that one. I’m thinking if I subbed 3/4 cup of the A/P flour with either spelt or whole wheat I could totally get over any guilt I had as I convinced myself it was all for the whole grains…!! Amazing what mind tricks can do!
Wow, these look gorgeous! My wife would die for these
This is my kind of muffin. I would probably even slather the top with extra peanut butter!!
Looks yum! Freezing them is a great idea, which I never thought of. That way you can bake and enjoy but still control the portion. I love the beautiful swirl on the top!
Oh wow! I definitely need to make these for my Mom. She loves the peanut butter/chocolate combo. Beautiful!
Ooh, I love the swirl on these–now I’m craving PB!
I am so with you on the combo of chocolate and peanut butter!! I just made some chocolate chip and peanut butter chip cookies today.
These muffins look great and I could eat one a day too. 
And yet another that my boys would love, Erin. I think instead of my adopting you, you just need to adopt them
How good are they at sleeping in, and helping out around the house? Maybe we can talk
They’re experts at sleepin in lol… well, except for Joshie. As for helping out (voluntarily anyway) they’re teens… you’re kidding right?
Those look dangerous… Like to my waistline… haha! Yum, that is all that needs said about these girl!
Oh yum!! These look fantastic!
gimme gimme gimme. I might as well be your six-year-old with the way I am longing for one of these muffins to be baked for me right now.
Love the peanut butter/chocolate combo too! These look awesome! Love the swirled top
Ahh. My favorite combo. These muffins would certainly get me out of bed in the morning!
I would like to have some =) just looking on that cupcakes makes me crave for one.
I’m a huge chocolate-peanut butter fan as well. The red wine vinegar is a very nice idea. Can’t wait to try these babies
Chocolate and peanut butter will never ever ever get old. Great recipe!
I like that combination of chocolate and peanut butter, and that swirl gives the perfect look.
These are so pretty and sound so tasty! I am loving peanut butter lately…bookmarking for later
These are so pretty, and perfect for National Peanut Butter Day
Knowing myself, I would probably eat these with another dollop of peanut butter on top. Just out of curiosity, what does the red wine vinegar do?
I think the vinegar just adds a little bit of acidity like buttermilk would do in a muffin. You definitely can’t taste it, it just works
Delicious! I’m a HUGE fan of peanut butter – you know that! I like that you froze them…I don’t think I’ve ever frozen muffins before!
I’ve never thought to freeze muffins before! I’ve always just used the whole fresh is better thing as an excuse to polish off the batch in one day! These would not last long in my house…
I love that you stashed them away from your son. You muffins always look so good.
i am also a HUGE fan of chocolate and peanut butter. these muffins looks great! I’m planning to make banana chocolate chip muffins next week. maybe I should add some peanut butter too!
