Ingredients
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F with the rack in the middle. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
Add the peanut butter to the flour mixture, blending it in with a fork until you have a coarse, crumbly texture. Stir in the milk, egg, butter and vanilla. Fold in the peanut butter chips.
Coat a nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with batter.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the muffins are light golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Recipe: Skinny Chickpeas with Tikka Masala Sauce
Skip the Indian restaurant, you can make this delicious recipe any time you are craving a vegetarian Tikka Masala.
Ingredients
Directions
Heat the oil or butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 3 minutes, add the ginger, cook another 3 minutes until onions are golden brown. Add the garlic, cook another minute then add the tomatoes, coconut milk, spices and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook about 10 minutes, stirring well. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
At this point you can puree the sauce in a food processor or blender…or not. Just depends if you prefer a silky smooth sauce. If you pureed it, return the sauce to the skillet. Add in the chickpeas and heat over medium heat until simmering.
Top with fresh cilantro & serve immediately with rice of naan.
