Peanut Choc-Chip Muffins

Although I whole-heartedly believe in a balanced lifestyle and all the perfectly balanced meals that come with that, I believe that a big part of every balanced lifestyle should be a few meals that would be suitable for a detox, and some suitable for a re-tox. Both of which are fine in a balanced scheme of things along with what I hope is your life of mainly balanced meals.

However, this is the re-tox.

Peanut Choc-Chip Muffins

(For Casey)

Recipe from 'The Essential Vegetarian CookBook' - Murdoch Books

I;

2 cups (250g) self-raising flour

1/3 cup (80g) raw sugar

1 1/2 (240g) dark choc bits

1 egg

1 cup (250g) crunchy peanut butter

2 tablespoons strawberry jam (I used raspberry)

60g butter, melted

1 cup (250ml) milk

Icing sugar for dusting (I ignored this)

M;

Preheat oven to moderate 180c

Brush a 12 hike standard muffin tin with melted butter or oil (I sprayed olive oil)

Sift flour into large bowl

Add sugar and choc bits; make a well in the centre

Add combined egg, peanut butter, jam, butter and milk

Stir until just combined (do not over beat)

Spoon evenly into muffin cups

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean

Loosen the muffins in the pan and leave for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack

When cool, dust with icing sugar (I found them sweet enough)

Enjoy!

Stay well,
