2 cups of flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 cup Peanut Butter & Co. Dark Chocolatey Dreams
3/4 cup of sugar
1 cup of milk
2 tbsp. instant coffee

In a mixing bowl combine half of the peanut butter, sugar, milk and instant coffee, mixing until just combined. Pour in the butter, egg, and vanilla, and mix for an additional minute.
Mix the dry mixture (1/2 cup at a time) into the the wet mixture.
Pour batter in lined muffin tins, filling 3/4 of the way full, and bake for 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Remove from muffin tins and place on a baking rack to cool completely.
Once muffins are cooled, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil (for easier cleanup). Place 1/4 cup of Peanut Butter & Co. Dark Chocolatey Dreams in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds at a time until it is runny.
Drizzle Peanut Butter & Co. Dark Chocolatey Dreams over muffins and allow to set before removing from baking sheet. Enjoy!
