Directions:

1. Preparation:

Let’s start preparing Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Muffins by preheating the oven.

1.1. Preheat:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Muffin Batter:

2.1. Dry Ingredients:

  • In a medium bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda using a mesh strainer.
  • Add the salt and set aside.

2.2. Cream Butter and Sugar:

In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the flat beater attachment until light and fluffy.

2.3. Add Egg:

Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg and beat until well combined.

2.4. Add Yogurt and Vanilla:

Scrape the bowl again, then add the yogurt and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.

2.5. Combine Wet and Dry:

  • Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk in batches.
  • Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

2.6. Final Mix:

  • Scrape down the bowl and use a rubber spatula to ensure no dry pockets remain.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips. Set aside.

3. Cheesecake Filling:

3.1. Cream Cheese and Peanut Butter:

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.

3.2. Add Sugar:

Add the sugar and beat until well combined, scraping the bowl as needed.

3.3. Add Egg (and Optional Flour):

Add the egg and beat until just combined. For a slightly thicker filling, you can optionally add 1 TBSP of flour and mix it in.

4. Assembly and Baking of Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Muffins:

4.1. Prepare Muffin Tin:

Line a muffin tin with liners.

4.2. Fill Muffin Cups:

Fill each muffin cup about ⅓ full with the muffin batter.

4.3. Add Cheesecake Filling:

Create a well in the center of the batter in each cup and add a spoonful of the cheesecake filling.

4.4. Top with Remaining Batter:

Cover the cheesecake filling with the remaining muffin batter.

4.5. Bake:

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 16-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

4.6. Cool:

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

4.7.

Serve & Enjoy!
