Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat together peanut butter, melted butter, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in milk and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter and add a generous teaspoon of guava preserves to the center of each cup.
