Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cups milk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cups your favorite jelly or jam
• 0.25 cups chopped peanuts (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick baking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding them together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.

Step 5

Spoon half of the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each muffin cup about one-third full.

Step 6

Add a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of jelly or jam into the center of each muffin cup on top of the batter.

Step 7

Spoon the remaining batter over the jelly, covering it completely. Smooth the tops as needed with the back of a spoon or a knife.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top of each muffin for extra texture and flavor.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the edge of a muffin (not the jelly center) comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
