PB & J muffins are a delicious and easy breakfast or snack muffin recipe. Made with pantry staples, they are a fun snack for kids and adults alike. This recipe makes 12 muffins but if you are looking to meal prep, they're also an ideal freezer muffin recipe.

Ingredients

Before starting, you'll want to verify that you have the following ingredients:

  • All-purpose flour - This is the most common flour for baking.
  • Granulated sugar - This will help to sweeten your muffins.
  • Baking powder - This ingredient will help your muffins rise.
  • Salt - Used to enhance the flavor of these muffins.
  • Vegetable Oil - Creates a fluffy, moist muffin.
  • Eggs - Two large eggs will help bind the ingredients and help them bake up nice and fluffy.
  • Milk - Whole milk adds moisture, and creaminess to the muffin to combine the batter.
  • Peanut Butter - Creamy, traditional peanut butter works best in this muffin recipe.
  • Jam or Jelly - You can use either grape, strawberry jam, or jelly in this recipe.

Equipment and Supplies Needed

We used the following equipment and supplies to make this recipe. Items that are optional or can be substituted will be noted.

  • 12- Count muffin tin - Used to bake these muffins.
  • Cupcake wrappers - White cupcake liners will help keep this recipe neat and easy to remove from the pan.
  • Mixing bowl - Used to mix the batter in.
  • Whisk - Used to combine the dry ingredients.
  • Wooden spoon - This will help to combine the batter.
  • Ice cream scoop - Used to help add the batter to the cupcake wrappers.

This recipe is easy to make if you know the right tips and tricks! Here are my tips for ensuring your Peanut Butter and Jam Muffins come out perfectly.

Peanut Butter

For this recipe, we recommend using creamy traditional peanut butter from brands like Jif, Skippy, or your favorite store brand type. I am not sure how well natural, stir before consuming peanut butter would work out in this muffin recipe.

Filling

The beauty of these muffins is that you can use either jam, preserves, or jelly. Our favorite combinations are grape or strawberry varieties which have the most classic flavor combination.

Muffin Pan

For this recipe, I do recommend using nonstick baking spray with cupcake liners. The reason being is that the jam can overflow if you go heavy on it and it will stick to the pan.

A silicone muffin tin is also a great option because once cooled, these muffins will pop out much easier.

Storage

If you want to store your Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins, just follow these easy steps.

Refrigerator

Store these muffins in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 5 days for best taste.

Freezer

Yes, these breakfast muffins can be frozen. Seal them in an airtight container or freezer bag and remove as much air as possible. Place them in the freezer and store them for up to 3 months.

Reheating

To reheat from frozen, allow muffins to thaw at room temperature. A quick 20 seconds in the microwave can nicely warm these up.
