Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip mini-muffins

• You'd think it'd be hard to mess up a chocolate peanut butter combination, right?  But these certainly were not my favorite.  They were too dense and a bit dry.  Maybe less peanut butter?  Or don't use the "healthy" kind?  Don't bake them as long?  Hmmmm . . . 

• 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2/3 cup chunky peanut butter
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
• 
  
• 
  
• In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients. In another bowl, combine the egg, milk, peanut butter, oil and vanilla.  Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.  Fold in chocolate chips.  Fill greased or paper-lined miniature muffin cups two-thirds full.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
