If you’re heading for a picnic right now, take a few minutes off and go make yourself a batch of these muffins. Actually, it doesn’t matter if you’re going on a picnic. Make them anyway.
I know I say a lot of the recipes are simple but I can’t tell you how truly simple this one is. I made these at 6 AM this morning, half asleep and still sipping on my first coffee. The Graham Cracker crumbs lend a rare texture to these muffins. I added a combination of dark and peanut butter chocolate chips. If only the rest of the day were this easy…
Over to the recipe: Picnic or not, it is time for Graham Cracker and Chocolate Chip Muffins.

Peanut butter and dark chocolate! A match made in heaven. These would be worth planning a picnic, just so I could bring them. :)
I love the nuts inside and from the pics, these looks so appetizing.
Hi Anuradha,
Peanut butter and chocolate chips sounds like a divine combination! These muffins would be a big hit at my place.

I like the idea of making muffins with graham crackers! Lovely clicks, An.
Wow. What a delicious way to top muffins!
Chocolate, peanut butter, graham crackers… Yes Please!! I think I have the same mat you have in the pictures… they are gorgeous pictures too. :)
So pretty how the tops look on these muffins An. Peanut butter chocolate chip goodness here all around! Good that I didn’t see it before I ate as it would be cruel! :)
The other day I bought a box of gluten free graham cracker crumbs and was wondering what should I try first.
These muffins look yummy and I love the topping.
I call these muffins – company impressive!
graham crackers in a muffin! genius! I love when my graham crackers actually get stale.is that insane or what. I like the softness to them for some reason. I bet they are delicious in this muffin along with the nutty pb. your aweome
what a unique recipe for muffins. i mostly use graham crackers for pie crusts but this is a great idea too and the muffins look perfect for breakfast!
Graham cracker in muffins is new to me. I’m always amazed how many kinds of muffins can be created. I bet you don’t need to even look at a basic muffin recipe to whip up some creative recipes because you’ve been making so many kinds! Very delicious combination, by the way. I’ve been eating “boring” yogurt + fruits for weeks now because of dieting, and I need this to take a break. :)
You are seriously a muffin queen! I am always left feeling satisfied after feasting with my eyes on your baked muffins. The idea sounds fantastic and great texture. Love the crunch and rich creamy nuttiness from peanut butter. Yummm!!
These muffins sound like HEAVEN! I wish I was more motivated at 6 am to whip up a batch of these because they sound awesome – loveeee the graham cracker/pb/chocolate combo!
Nice muffin! I don’t have a picnic in my immediate future (why not? I should!) but these would be nice anyway. Love the flavor of graham cracker – used to be one of my favs when I was a kid.
Wow – this looks and sounds terrific! Love it!
I love the idea of crackers inside the dough! This is a wonderful muffin!
Love the addition of graham crackers to this!!!
Now this is a muffin fit for a queen! I love all the peanut butter goodness. I think peanut butter makes everything a little better, don’t you? Thank you so much for sharing!
Holy muffin! This looks fabulous!
Yummy to infinity and beyond!
i love the idea of these muffins! and they look SO GOOD!!
i would like to melt inside this muffins. they look perfect!

Hi, I’m wondering about this recipe. It seems to list only the streusel and not the muffin ingredients. Am I missing a link or something? I’d love to try making these. Thanks.
Hey! Hope you can see it now? When the plugin was updated it sort of ate half my recipe. I’ve rewritten it again. Thanks for the heads up! :)
