Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins


 I was super excited to join Secret Recipe Club this month.  I posted on Monday my Potato Bread with Chives for the big reveal.  Unfortunately someone didn't post, so there was one lone blogger without anything posted for their blog.  Amanda who coordinates the Secret Recipe Club sent out an all call for help!  I was happy to step up and be apart of this project!  There was so many of us that volunteered Amanda set up a new reveal and here it is!  

I selected Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins from Connor's Corner.  There were lots of great things to pick from, but I have never made a PB&J anything aside from the sandwich.  I have seen bars that peaked my curiosity, so I finally decided to take the plunge when I saw these muffins.  Today was the first day of school, and I can't wait for my 6 year old to get home and try his after school snack!

Recipe from Connor's Corner

    Beautiful muffins! I don't like peanut butter unless it's in sweets, so these will do :)

    I am sure kids would rather see these muffins in their lunch than a sad sandwich, great recipe pic from that site. Thanks for sharing.

    These are like childhood in a muffin! It was fun coming together and cooking from Connor's Cooking. I hope that you'll check out the Nutella Crêpes which I made from her blog.

    These muffins really appeal to me because I love how the filling is in the muffin and you don't need to spread anything on them :) Looks great!

    I made these over the weekend for my family and they were a BIG hit. Looks like I'll be making some more since they were requested for school lunches too. You mentioned freezing muffins so you had them ready to go.....How do you package them up for the freezer? Trying to decide what would be best.

  52. ErinAugust 23, 2011 at 6:33 AM

    @Monica - I just allow the muffins to cool completely. Then I store them in a freezer safe zip lock storage bag. They last for a couple months. Microwave for about 25 seconds and it is goo to go! So glad your family liked them!
