I have been craving a peanut butter cup for so long, it’s unreal. Chocolate and peanut butter is one of my favourite flavour combinations. When I perfected this peanut butter cup muffin for only 126 calories a muffin, I rejoiced.
Short on time? Pin it for later.
I’ve spoken before about how greek yogurt is a necessity in my house. Greek yogurt is something I purchase every week without fail because I use it almost daily. It’s low calorie and high in protein which is why it should be a staple in any household.
Some of my favourite ways to use greek yogurt are:
- Skinny Spinach Dip
- Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken
- Yogurt with berries and granola
- Replacement for sour cream on tacos
Greek yogurt is also the base for all of the Fit and Frugal Mommy muffins. It makes the muffins deliciously moist while also adding more protein than in a typical muffin.

These muffins bring together everything that I love about muffins. These peanut butter cup muffins are quick and easy to make, pack a little extra protein and are the perfect grab and go snack.
These peanut butter cup muffins use PB2. PB2 is a powdered, peanut butter substitute that is made by adding a little water to the powder. This reduces the calories significantly because PB2 is very low fat in comparison to regular peanut butter. You can grab some PB2 here.
