Peanut, peanut butter…and JELLY! Is that a real song or is it just one I made up in my head? I am not sure, but it has a nice tune:) I am very excited about today’s recipe-Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins. The recipe comes from my good friend Lori’s new cookbook, The Recipe Girl Cookbook. 

You can’t beat a classic PB and J sandwich. Whenever I am feeling lazy or just in the mood for some good comfort food, I always turn to PB and J. Whole wheat bread, creamy peanut butter, and strawberry jam for me please! It always hits the spot.

When I saw Lori’s recipe for Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins, I knew I had to try them. I’ve made a Peanut Butter and Jelly Coffee Cake before and it’s a favorite. I knew I would love the muffins! You can’t go wrong with the traditional peanut butter and jelly combo, especially in cute muffin form.

The muffins are super simple to whip up. I bet you have all of the ingredients in your kitchen right now! Lori recommends using creamy peanut butter for this recipe. If you use a natural-style peanut butter, just make sure the oils are present to create a moist and tender muffin. I used Trader Joe’s creamy peanut butter. It’s my favorite!

I used strawberry jam for the filling because we had an open jar in the fridge and it’s my fave. You can change it up by using whatever jam you like-grape, blackberry, or raspberry would be tasty too!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins are great for breakfast or snack time. I bet the kiddos would love these muffins as an after school snack. You can make them for them or let them get in on the action. This recipe is a fun one for kids because it’s easy and what kid doesn’t like PB&J?

The next time I am craving PB&J sandwich, I might reach for a Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffin instead. Love these muffins!

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 12 muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper cups.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, peanut butter, oil, egg, and vanilla. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.

  • 4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins have risen in the middle and are firm to the touch.

  1. I love muffins with strawberry filling. I also would love to have the new cookbook in my collection and I could use a new Blender that is not a hundred years old! Thank you for sharing the post and giveaway. A loyal reader.

  2. Love this! I’m sure I could have this every morning. And thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  3. My favorite jelly to use on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches is apple. Apple jelly tastes AMAZING to me.

  4. That IS a real song. I used it at day care all the time. It has actions and everything. 🙂

    My favorite PB&J combo is smooth peanut butter and grape jam. I guess I’m kinda boring, huh?

    Thanks!

  5. These were so different in a good way from the normal muffin/cupcake — and my co-workers heartily agree. Thank you for the very specific instructions, though I found that using 1.5 tablespoons of batter for the bottom left me with plenty for the tops (maybe I was just too generous when I was doing 2 tablespoons). I bet chocolate chips would be a great addition instead of jelly …

  6. A peanut butter and jelly muffin sounds great. My kids would totally love this for an after school snack. Peanut butter and jelly it always remind me of my childhood together with my mom, and now, with my kids. A great job for making PB&J muffin.

  7. I just made these so I would have some treats to take to work for a mid-morning snack, and I decided they smelled too delicious to wait until tomorrow to eat…all I can say is WOW…these were delicious – especially if you eat them while they are still warm with a glass of milk!

  8. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and
    now each time a comment is added I get several e-mails with the same comment.

    Is there any way you can remove me from that service?

    Cheers!

  9. I just wish The Recipe Girl Cookbook can teach me how to make these cookies , we don’t have the traditional to make sweat cookies in country , even though we love cookies very much , we just brought them in the store

  10. “Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins GIVEAWAY | Two Peas & Their Pod” was
    a very good article and I actually was extremely glad to discover the article.
    Thanks,Aaliyah

  11. Just put these in the oven and can’t wait to see how they turn out!!!! I noticed the recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of baking powder…. I’m a novice baker, but I was too nervous to use that much and subbed 1 teaspoon instead! Is 1 tablespoon correct?? Can’t wait to see how these muffins turn out! The house smells yummy!!!

  12. They are AH-MAZING!!!!!!! Hubby LOVES them!! What a great, healthy muffin!!!! I need to pick up Lori’s cookbook!!
