These Peanut Butter Cup Muffins are so fun! They’re grain free, gluten free, and dairy free.
Add some peanut butter cups to your shopping list and let’s get baking!
Chocolate peanut butter cups are the star of the show in these peanut butter muffins.
I like to consume foods with higher quality ingredients, so I opted for these Justins Peanut Butter Cups. Unreal peanut butter cups would be another great option.
Or of course you could go with the classic Reese’s. You could even mix in mini reese cups into the batter if you’d prefer.
These peanut butter muffins are
- naturally sweetened (no brown sugar here!)

- gluten free

Peanut Butter Cup Muffins – How To Make
First, combine the almond flour, arrowroot powder, baking powder, and salt into a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine.
Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla into the dry ingredients and mix together until a batter forms.
Next, line a regular muffin pan with parchment liners and fill them up 3/4 of the way with the muffin batter. I like to use an ice cream scoop to keep the muffins similar in size. And it’s easy and less of a mess.
Take any wrappers off the peanut butter cups, and gently push them into the muffins.
Place the muffin tin in a 350 degree oven (not 375 degrees), and bake for 15-18 minutes. The amount of time will depend on your oven so keep a close eye on them.
Who says gluten free muffins can’t be amazing! Enjoy!
