Peanut Butter Marbled Muffins with Muesli and Drippy Dark Chocolate Topping

1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons (or slightly more) crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup plain flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
About 1/4 cup milk
Muesli for topping
Dark chocolate, melted over a bain marie and set aside to cool

Preheat the oven to 347.
Beat peanut butter, butter, and sugar together till smooth and creamy. Add the whipped egg, vanilla, and cinnamon. Then add the sifted flour and baking soda, mixing carefully. The mixture now will start to get a little stubborn, so add milk until it reaches the right consistency. I used nearly 1/4 cup of milk. By now, you should have lined your muffin tray with pretty paper cups.
So divide the batter into cups. Drip your melted chocolate onto each muffin and use a toothpick or chopstick to swish the chocolate about into the batter to form the marble-effect. Sprinkle your favorite muesli on top.
Now, whack it in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Once it's done (you'll know this by inserting a toothpick into the middle of a cupcake, if it comes out clean, there you go!), take it out of the oven and leave in the muffin tray to cool for 2 minutes. Remove to cool completely then get the rest of your melted chocolate and drizzle over these muffins.
