Ingredients

1/2 cup butter softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup brewed coffee
1/3 cup cocoa
1-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, add butter, peanut butter and sugar.
Cream together on medium speed until completely combined.
Add eggs, vanilla and brewed coffee.
Mix together on low speed until combined.
Add cocoa, flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
Mix together on low speed until just combined.
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.
Add chocolate chips to batter. Stir together to combine.
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.

Notes

I love the contrast of peanut butter and dark chocolate so I chose to use dark chocolate chips in my muffins although they're equally tasty if you choose to use semi-sweet chocolate chips.
