Buttermilk Peanut Butter Muffins

If you’re a peanut butter fan, then you’ll enjoy these moist Buttermilk Peanut Butter Muffins!

It is a beautiful day outside!! The sun is shining and the temperature is around 60 degrees. I’m so excited about this weather, and am definitely planning to get outside and take advantage of it! I love the outdoors, especially this time of year. The crisp air gives me energy and makes me feel like I can accomplish something amazing! (Like…picking up the thousand branches in the yard that fell down after all the windy days this past weekend.) Haha.

Today is also the last day of October! I can’t believe it; each year seems to go faster than the one before. When I was a kid, one year seemed to drag on forever and the last two months before Christmas would slow down even more. I remember having a calendar next to my bed where I would mark off the days until Christmas. Now I feel like the months go by so quickly that I’m being dragged behind them, flapping in the breeze of “things I still need to get done but haven’t yet”.

Speaking of “things I need to get done”, the house is due for some cleaning today. I’ve got a big to-do list, so I’d better get after it!

Before I sign off to go tackle my list, how about some muffins? Yes, I’m posting ANOTHER muffin recipe. I think I need to expand my breakfast food section a little bit. It is largely dominated by muffin and pancake recipes right now.

These muffins are for anyone who loves peanut butter. I put almost a cup of peanut butter into the recipe plus some buttermilk, and that makes the muffins moist and delicious. 🙂

Enjoy the recipe!
