I never bought lunch at school as a kid. Twelve years’ worth of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and you’d think I would never, ever want to taste that combination again. Wrong! I still love those sandwiches, but I think I love these Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins even more.
Packed full of moist deliciousness, these muffins are terrific for breakfast, lunch, snack…whatever! This recipe can also be made vegan by using dairy-free margarine (such as Earth’s Balance) and egg substitute.
