What are peanut butter jelly muffins?
Peanut Butter Jelly Muffins Ingredients
-Flour: The base of our muffin recipe is 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour.
-Brown sugar: We want our muffins sweet and moist. Adding 2/3s cups of brown sugar will do exactly that!
-Baking powder: To help leaven our muffins and make them rise nicely, we want to use 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder.
-Salt: 1/4 teaspoon of salt will help to enhance the flavors in this recipe nicely.
-Egg: We only need 1 egg to help bind our muffin batter together wonderfully.
-Milk: Adding 3/4 cup of milk (regular or non-dairy) will help to thin down the thick batter so it’s easier to spread in the muffin cups.
-Peanut butter: We want to use 2/3 cups of your favorite creamy peanut butter. You can use chunky if desired, but creamy works best.
-Oil: We need fats added to the muffins to keep them moist so adding in 1/4 cup of canola oil will do well for that reason.
-Vanilla: We need 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to get a good flavor enhancement.
-Jelly: You will need about 12 tablespoons of jelly for these muffins. I used strawberry jelly but you can use any flavor, even homemade jelly works well.
