Chocolate & Peanut Butter Muffin

This chocolate peanut butter muffin is my cupcake version of Reeces Pieces and a healthier version because of the low carb and sugar replacement.  

I am adding this to the list of another coconut flour muffin that could probably be replicated with almond flour.  The main attraction about this muffin is the gooey peanut butter centre.   I noticed that almonds here are much cheaper than Barbados so once I get my food processor I shall be making a batch of almond flour and get around to the list of recipes to make!  So much baking, such a happy husband!

Chocolate & Peanut Butter

I used smooth peanut butter as it’s my personal favourite, but crunchy would be fine.  An extra treat in the middle for you.  I use peanut butter that is unsweetened and as natural as you can get.  Alternatively, whip up a batch yourself using peanuts and your food processor.  

There is just something about chocolate and peanut butter that it just divine for me.   I was toying with the idea of topping these delicious muffins with a chocolate ganache but think I may have had to have a lie down with the flavour overload.   Actually, if I do this again I think a chocolate topping would not go amis.  Athough I was trying to keep the net carbs down just using cocoa powder.
