I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do. The best way to cook, I think, is to take an idea and make it your own and that's kind of what I do with the recipes I've brought here. Some are healthy and some are definitely not, but hopefully they will inspire you to spend more time in your kitchen.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins

What you need:
  • 2 cups flour - I used KA White Whole Wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter - I used reduced fat
  • 3/4 cup milk - I would up this to a full cup to make the batter a bit thinner as it was too thick
  • 2 tablespoons oil - I used olive oil, you could use vegetable oil or even melted butter
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup jam - I used homemade low sugar blackberry jam

What you do:

Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. With a fork, mix in the peanut butter until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. In a separate bowl, combine milk, oil, eggs and vanilla. Pour into dry and mix just until combined. In a greased muffin pan (line with muffin papers) spoon batter into bottom about 1/3 full. Top each with 1 rounded teaspoon of jam or jelly. Spoon more batter on top until 3/4 full. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
