Growing up my favorite sandwich was always peanut butter and jelly, and I remember eating one for lunch basically every day. It's since faded out of my life, but every once in a while when I do go for a PB&J, I'm reminded just how great the simple sandwich is.
When I heard about peanut butter and jelly muffins, I knew I wanted to give them a try. At first I wasn't sure if I would like them, but what surprised me most about these muffins was how true to taste they really are. Combining the flavors of peanut butter and jelly into a delicious muffin form, this recipe is a win-win.
