Peanut Butter and Jam Muffins

What do so many kids love? Peanut butter and jam sandwiches!! I know that my daughter goes on kicks for pb&j and simply can’t get enough. These Peanut Butter and Jam Muffins will be the right fix for lunchboxes and after school snacks!! You could even start the day with one of these delicious muffins!!

These yummy little muffins have a hidden jam center and a streusel crispy top! Your family will love these at anytime of the day! I love making my family muffins, it feels so homey! Fall is a great time to get the oven going again after the hot summer. The leaves here have now fallen, well kind of ripped from the branches after a wild wind storm we had the other day. So it is time to get back to baking and making the house nice and warm and filled with wonderful aromas.  

Cut them in half and they are so pretty with a little line of jam. Don’t like strawberry? Then use the jam of your choosing. Raspberry, blueberry, blackberry would all be so good. I would say that grape jelly would be fantastic too!!

Just rip the top off and you have lots of ooey gooey jam to munch on. The peanut butter is right in the muffin, tasting so delicous. Nothing beats the great combination of peanut butter and jam!

Give these muffins a little red or pink cup to sit in, it just livens them right up!! The streusel topping gives the muffins a little crunch to start with!
