- 2/3 cup peanut butter natural

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Whisk together all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together all of the wet ingredients. Stir together the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. There will be some lumps.
