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.

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

  18. So sad that I cannot enter your giveaway contest, since I’m in Canada. 🙁
    I’m going to drown my sadness in these muffins.

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

    Thanks!

  28. 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 …

  29. 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.

  30. 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!

  31. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and

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

    Cheers!

  34. 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!!!

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