Method

Heat the oven to 160°C fan/gas 4. Grease a muffin tin with butter or line with muffin cases.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or using electric beaters, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarb, salt and butter for 3 minutes until smooth. Mix in the milk, followed by the peanut butter and then the eggs, ensuring each egg is incorporated before adding the next.
Use a tablespoon to divide the mixture between each muffin tin hole, then sprinkle peanuts on top of each mound of batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and puffed up.
