*I was compensated by Smuckers & Mom It Forward to create this post. All opinions expressed are completely my own.
I think breakfast can be one of the most boring meals of the day. It has this fabulous potential to be maginificent but in my life this rarely happens.
I’m way to busy trying to get ready in the morning, get Miss K ready and out the door on time successfully without forgetting anything that I never have time to truly enjoy the meal. I’m usually grabbing a piece of toast, gobbling up some cold cereal and coaxing Miss K to hurry up and eat. I swear that child knows when she should eat fast and does the exact opposite!
Enter these Easy Peanut Butter Muffins into the equation. I adore Peanut Butter & Jelly together. It brings me back to the comforts of growing up. My mom was always insistent that we eat breakfast before we left for school. She would have none of it if we wanted to skip breakfast. I still don’t skip breakfast! I guess she instilled that in me quite successfully!
These muffins are delicious, moist and so wonderful when they were loaded up with Smucker’s® Natural Fruit Spreads. I of course picked my favorite flavor, Strawberry! You could also load it up with Smucker’s® Red Raspberry, Orange Marmalade or Concord Grape Natural Fruit Spreads!
The muffins are great for a make ahead treat for your family the next day. Just pop them in the microwave to warm them up and then give them a good bath in fruit spread. With winter dragging on, and on, and well on with no end in site I made a batch for my family to “Spread a Little Sunshine this Winter”. It was a great way to brighten up their morning and let them know they are my Sunshine!
I love the fact that my family can enjoy breakfast and I know that when they are eating Smucker’s® Natual Fruit Spreads they are made from natural sources, have no preservatives and of course are naturally delicious! Plus they only use real sugar.

Love these. My daughter and I have tried various peanut butter muffin recipes from online, and this one is the winner! We halved the recipe (because we were trying it the first time). My daughter cannot have dairy, and my son can’t have her substitute milks, so we used applesauce in place of the milk. We made 20 mini-muffins (375 for 12 min). Split each in half to add grape jelly. Favorite muffins ever.
Courtney says
What a great idea switching out the apple sauce for milk. Thank you for letting us know you enjoyed this recipe!
Amy says
Hi Julie! Any temp or time adjustments for mini muffins? Looking forward to trying this recipe1
Julie says
I haven’t tried mini muffins with this one so I’m not positive but I would try backing the temperature down to 350 degrees and try 13-15 minutes to start. Let me know how it goes!
Jesse says
Could I substitute the peanut butter chips for peanut butter
Julie says
No, the peanut butter chips just add more peanut butter flavor to the muffin. You could either leave them out or substitute them for a different flavor of chip like chocolate chips.
Kerry Stafford says
These are super easy and delicious! I filled the tins with 1/3 batter, tsp strawberry jam, then another 1/3 batter. Amazing!
Julie Evink says
