I may or may have not taken to rewarding myself a couple of times a week after successfully orchestrating the morning routine by hitting my favorite caffeine establishment.

How to Make Peanut Butter Mocha Chocolate Chip Muffins

[1] In the bowl of an electric mixer, add butter, peanut butter and sugar.

[2] Cream together on medium speed until completely combined.

[3] Add eggs, vanilla and brewed coffee.

[4] Mix together on low speed until combined.

[5] Add cocoa, flour, baking powder, soda and salt.

[6] Mix together on low speed until just combined. Add chocolate chips to batter.

TIP: You want to mix only until you no longer see any dry ingredients. If you overmix the batter, your muffins will be tough instead of fluffy.

[7] Stir together to combine.

[8] Fill lined muffin tin cups with batter using large cookie scoop. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for five minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.
