Equipment

  • conventional oven
  • 12-count Muffin Tin
  • non-stick spray
  • cupcake liners
  • large bowl
  • Ice Cream Scoop (optional - for scooping batter into muffin tin)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup strawberry jelly you can use jam, or preserves in your choice of grape or strawberry

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 375°F
  • Spray your muffin tin(s) with non-stick spray. This is helpful because the jam can overflow while baking. 
  • Line your muffins tin(s) with cupcake liners
  • In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt).
  • Add the milk, eggs, oil, and peanut butter to the dry ingredients. Using a large spoon, combine until well-mixed.
  • Using a small ice cream scoop sprayed with non-stick, add a small layer of batter to the bottom of each cupcake liner. 
  • Add a dollop of jelly to the top of the batter layer in each.
  • Add an additional small layer of batter to the top of the jelly.
  • Place inside the preheated oven on the center rack. Bake for 17-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (without wet batter. Jelly may stick to it, which is okay.).
