Peanut Butter Muffins with Peanut Butter Streusel

This past weekend I was browsing my Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook in hopes of finding a sweet treat to make.  A recipe for a peanut butter cake jumped out at me so I decided to give it a try. However, I didn’t want to make a huge 9×13 cake for only two people so I reduced the size of the recipe and made muffins instead.

You could consider this a cupcake recipe as the original recipe is for a sheet cake but with a streusel topping, I felt that these were more along the lines of a muffin rather than a cupcake.  If you like peanut butter, you will love these muffins. You can definitely taste the peanut butter in these little gems. I kind of wish I made more than 6 of these but at the same time, I’m happy I didn’t. They are so good that they are hard to resist. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
