PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

Somewhere along the way, I picked up the belief that it’s completely fine to have chocolate for breakfast as long as it’s served in an appropriate breakfast way. So basically brownies for breakfast = bad, but chocolate muffins for breakfast = totally okay! If some peanut butter gets added to the mix it’s even better – peanut butter is absolutely breakfast appropriate and only further legitimizes the whole chocolate for breakfast thing. Right?

So when you make these – and you will because – hello! – chocolate for breakfast! – you’ll want to super-size them by filling each muffin slot/hole/well/whatever you call it to just below the rim. That way you’ll get eight sort of jumbo muffins, which is the best way to maximize the chocolate and peanut butter wonderfulness. Pile on some chocolate chips and you’ll turn what would have been a boring weekday morning into an “oh my god I love my life!” weekday morning. Seriously, chocolate for breakfast will do that for you. Oh, and a strong cup of coffee – that helps, too.
