**Ingredients:**
– 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup milk
– 1/4 cup vegetable oil
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or by greasing it lightly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
3. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter in the microwave in 20-second intervals until smooth. Be sure to stir in between intervals to prevent burning.

7. Top each cup with the remaining batter, covering the chocolate chips completely.
