Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins

Jun 10, 2015 22 Comments

Peanut butter and jelly muffins are a take on the lunchtime sandwich but in muffin form! They’re perfect for breakfast or a snack!

Peanut butter and jelly muffins make the perfect snack or breakfast for kids. Plus they are made with only six ingredients, gluten free, and kid-friendly!

I’m not sure why I decided to create a recipe for peanut butter and jelly muffins. I’m not a peanut butter and jelly sandwich kind of person. I was the kid that had a salami sandwich for school lunch. I turned my nose up at those PB & J kids. And they crinkled their nose at my salami sandwich.

Honestly, I don’t know who bought the jelly and brought it into our house! But because I’ve been making muffins once a week for snacks or breakfast for Mr. Joey, I decided I’d cave and see what this flavor combination is all about. The verdict? There’s a good reason that these two foods are inseparable!

The angle makes Joey look like he has some strong glutes! 🙂

Peanut butter and jelly muffins haven’t converted me to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich believer. But I now see what the rest of the world loves about the duo. Sweet, salty, creamy, and smooth. And there’s something that makes me feel like a kid again when I eat the two together.

When you take a bite of one of these peanut butter and jelly muffins, you don’t think “oh it’s a peanut butter muffin,” or “hey, there’s jelly in here!” Instead, you’ll taste a moist, sweet little muffin that has the perfect balance of peanut butter and jelly. That’s the whole point of combining the two, right?!

Yay or nay? Are you a peanut butter and jelly fan?

    I hated peanut butter until I was in high school so I’m still making up for lost PB&J sandwiches 🙂 These muffins look so tasty!

      She’s trying applesauce! I think it could work too. Perhaps just a 1/4 cup?!

    You had me until you added the banana. This banana hating Nana will substitute applesauce.

    Sienna would absolutely devour these! That’s of course if there were any left her after Pete and I got to them! So will you be making salami muffins next? 🙂

    I can so relate to your feelings on peanut butter! I had a serious aversion to it – the smell would literally make me gag. I worked for over a year on overcoming that aversion not that long ago! I’m still particular about how I eat it but these I would probably try!

      I’m just thankful no one in my family has a peanut allergy because lately it’s been my go-to protein for Joey!!

    I am a fan of peanut butter but only as a post workout snack to get my source of protein, but I think I will try these too. Not the healthiest option for a post workout snack but the protein is in there. I’m guessing any flavour of jelly can be used? Can muffin cups be used or will they stick to the cup? Is it just better to grease the muffin tray?

      You could use the muffin cup. I didn’t have any on hand! And yes, use the jelly you love!! Not a huge protein workout snack but there’s some in there!

    • Adam Trainor says

      July 12, 2015 at 2:15 pm

      Katie, Thanks for the reply. Yeah there’s not much protein but I like to have peanut butter after a workout as that has small amounts of protein in and it will get your energy levels back up. I did try these and they are great!! Not been on the blog for a while but I look forward to seeing any more recipes that you might have.
