Regular readers will notice from the photos that I am not in my usual kitchen. But such is my dedication to Muffin Monday that in my suitcase I packed the disposable muffins cups, flour, and baking powder just so I could bake these muffins. And a spatula. Also two sharp knives and my little knife sharpener, but those had nothing to do with these peanut butter muffins!

I love staying in Airbnbs because of the kitchen but often they are ill equipped, with the most common missing items being a decent knife and a non-stick pan. I get it. Casual renters can ruin good knives and scratch non-stick pans but, dang, those would really elevate my cooking experience. I draw the line at packing pans (for a flight – road trips maybe!) but I often do bring one or two good knives in my checked bag. 

Is there something you travel with when you know you’ll have a kitchen to cook in? I'd love to hear what it is.

Peanut Butter Muffins with Peanut Butter Streusel 

This recipe makes 8 regular sized muffins. To make the streusel, it is essential that the peanut butter be well chilled so you can make crumbles. Since this is an unusual number of muffins, you might want to follow my lead and use a flat baking pan and disposable muffin cups, like these Reynolds brand foil baking cups. They are foil outside with a paper muffin cup inside so they don’t need the support of a muffin pan. Back when I was baking large quantities of cupcakes and muffins for my daughters' school fundraisers, these were a godsend. 

Ingredients
For the muffins:
3/4 cup or 94g flour
1/2 cup or 100g sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/3 cup or 80g smooth peanut butter (I use reduced fat Jif)
1/2 cup or 120ml milk
1 egg 
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

For the streusel:
¼ cup or 32g all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons or 25g sugar 
3 tablespoons or 45g creamy peanut butter, well chilled 

Method
Preheat your oven to 350°F or 180°C and prepare your muffin pan by greasing it or lining it with paper muffin cups. 
Make the streusel by combining the ingredients in a small bowl and using a pastry blender or the tines of a fork to mix them lightly to create crumbles. Put the bowl in the fridge until you are ready to use the streusel. 


In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. 


In another bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, milk, egg and vanilla. 


Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ones until just combined. 


Divide the batter between your 8 muffin cups.


Top with the streusel. 


Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.


Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack, if you have one! My little kitchen did not.
