Small cakes with a texture somewhere between a brownie and a muffin: soft inside with a light crust. With just peanut butter and egg, the ingredient list could hardly be shorter. They are filling and travel well, so they make a good snack to keep in your bag.
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
Stir the peanut butter and egg together until smooth.
Add the baking powder and mix again until the batter is even.
Divide the batter between muffin cups using a teaspoon.
Bake for 10–13 minutes.
For a crisper outside, leave them in for another 2–3 minutes.
