Peanut Butter & Jam Muffins are a delicious and easy breakfast or snack muffin recipe. Made with two pantry staples, they are a fun snack for kids and adults alike.
Peanut butter and jelly- or jam, in this case, is something that I grew up on. I used to get school lunch pretty much every day in middle school and would always opt for the alternative lunch. This was either peanut butter and marshmallow or peanut butter and jam/jelly.
It might have seemed like a simple kind of lunch but my coffee milk and sandwich were something I looked forward to each day. My mom was not a baker and surely didn’t create yummy baked treats like these Peanut Butter & Jam Muffins.
When my kids head back to school they will each be getting their choice of PB & J.
These classic flavors are two I grew to love over the years. Now, my 3 kids also love them although one of my kids might be crunchy peanut butter kinda girl.
Making a peanut butter and jam sandwich is a rite of passage for kids independence. I know it was the first lunch I ever created independently because it is just so easy.
Our family always has a few extra jars of peanut butter and jelly products in the pantry but never hesitate to stock up when there is a good sale going on.
We recently picked some up at the market on sale. I love a good PB & jelly sales and always stock up because my kids go through so much!

This was excellent! Made it for my kids and we’re making it again today for breakfast. Im come across a few similar recipes…this is the best!!
So delish!! I make all my muffins with whole wheat flour and use apple sauce in place of oil. I also sprinkle in some chia seeds and flax ( no one notices ). These were so good and different from my usual muffins.
These were a big hit in my house today. My preschooler, toddler, and husband all gobbled them down. Excellent recipe!
I tweaked mine a little! I melted the peanut butter before stirring it is, just 20 seconds in the microwave and it makes it so much easier and smoother. I also added a teaspoon of pure white vanilla to the batter!
Sorry! That is too bad, I am sorry they did not live up to your expectations, but I get it…not everything is for everyone. Thank you! -Amy
I’m not sure if I did something wrong or not. I looked back over the recipe and I believe I did it correctly but these were so bland. Sorry but we just did not like this recipe.
This is the grown-up version of everything I ever loved as a kid! This is the best muffin recipe ever!
