Peanut butter and jelly is a staple around my house. My son will eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. When you think of PB&J, you immediately think of sandwiches. I wanted to try something different than cookies and sandwiches.
I tried making peanut butter cupcakes, but they weren’t moist enough to have the consistency of a cupcake. I thought, hey – what about adding preserves and it was at that moment that genius stuck! Peanut butter and jelly muffins.

I was just going to suggest applesauce, it is a great sub for oil in almost any recipe! I am going to try it this weekend. If it works, I will post and let people know.
you could try applesauce for the oil
Thanks, I’ll try them with butter.
meaning the muffins were terrible with shortening
Don’t use shortening, its terrible. The muffins were crumbly, I tried butter and coconut oil – the butter was ok, might have to use slightly more.
Butter for the coconut oil, may be shortening
Was wondering the same thing. I don’t usually have coconut oil around. The recipe sounds very yummy. There is only one thing I love more than nutella, and that is PB&J!
Anything I can substitute for coconut oil?
Yum
These really look great! I am going to have to make them!
Will be trying these! Thanks
