Golden Peanut Butter Muffins
"I found these muffins from an online site (unfortunately cannot remember the site) but I'll tell you these are very nice muffins that are not overly sweet and have a great nutty flavor. We love these for breakfast with a bit of jelly on top. They are also a great after-school snack."

These muffins were pretty good, and I think they have some really good potential. I read where some of the other reviewers thought they were too dry. Coincidentally, I only had 1/2 the amount of margarine I needed (aka broke college students' butter). So I used half margarine and half shortening. My muffins came out fluffy and not too dry. I think this may have been due to the shortening. As for the flavor, once again, good potential, but I think the recipe could use some granulated sugar for added sweetness, and maybe, just maybe a pinch of cinnamon. Even my husband, who is not a big fan of peanut butter says he might like them if they had a little white sugar in them. -
I just whipped up a 1/2 batch of these muffins. They had a nice peanut butter flavor but just seemed a bit blah to me. Not sure what it was missing. Thanks for posting! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders Tag. -
these were good but just a little on the dry side, not to worry my PB-loving DS gobbled them up in no time, thanks for sharing hon!

It was an ok muffin. My family wasn't crazy about them. They whipped up pretty fast and smelled good. They looked really good too. I'm not sure what we didn't care for. We ate them with apple butter. Probably wouldn't make again, but i don't want to discourage a real peanut butter fan from making them. -
Like eating a peanut butter cookie for coffee break, but not as sweet (which is a good thing!) I used reduced-fat peanut butter, but kept everything else the same. Great snack.
