Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 1 cup peanut butter Provides a rich and creamy base for the muffins.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour The backbone that gives our muffins structure.
  • 1/2 cup sugar Adds just the right amount of sweetness.
  • 2 ripe guavas, pureed The star of the show with its unique sweetness.
  • 2 eggs Helps bind everything together.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder A vital leavening agent for the muffins.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Adds extra lift to the muffins.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors.
  • 1/2 cup milk Keeps the muffins moist and tender.
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil Adds richness to the batter; melted coconut oil is a great alternative.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, sugar, and vegetable oil. Stir until smooth.
  3. Crack the eggs into the mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Gently stir in the guava puree until well blended.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mix, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
  7. Spoon the batter into muffin liners, filling them about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Store muffins in an airtight container for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months. For variations, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or substituting with other fruit purees.
