Peanut Butter and Jelly Stuffed Banana Muffins

Moist peanut butter muffins are stuffed with peanut butter and jelly for a breakfast or after school treat!

Have you baked with peanut butter very much? I haven’t, and turns out it’s not that easy. In my recent experience, it can make baked goods really dry, which doesn’t make sense to me since it’s so high in oil. My first attempt at these muffins was peanut butter banana muffins with the peanut butter mixed in, and they were seriously lacking in the moisture department. Matt said he was afraid to swallow each bite because he was afraid he might choke.

My youngest, however, loved the original muffins and ate three in one sitting! We all agreed that they tasted good but were just too dry. Because I’m a quitter, instead of working harder to perfect the original recipe, I decided to try something a little different. I already have a moist banana muffin recipe I like, so I got the idea to stuff that one with PB&J instead of stirring the peanut butter in. Here’s how:

I loved the result, and I think you will too! The peanut butter is still as sticky as peanut butter ever is, so you’ll definitely want a glass of milk nearby.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray ten cups of a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Stir together mashed bananas, oil, egg, milk, and sugar. Stir in baking mix and oats just until combined. Scoop muffin dough evenly into prepared ten muffin cups.
  3. Use the backside of a round tablespoon measuring spoon to make an indentation in the top of each muffin. Spoon about a teaspoon of peanut butter and a teaspoon of jelly into the center of each muffin.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until top edges are brown. Allow to cool in pan for a few minutes, and then carefully lift each muffin onto a cooling rack. (Don't dump the muffins out or the tops will get messed up.) Filling will be hot, so allow to cool to a safe temperature before serving.

These are my must-have tools for muffin baking (affiliate links):

    Hmm. I wonder why your muffins came out dry? I have a peanut butter muffin recipe that is a favorite with my family. It’s a variation of the basic muffin recipe in the Betty Crocker cookbook I have. (This is the recipe I use-I use all whole wheat flour in my baking-

      Oh, I’m sure it was just my muffins that turned out bad and not all peanut butter muffins! I’ll try this version next time. You can never go wrong with Betty! Thanks, Kathy :)

      Thanks so much, Sara! That is the shakiest video ever because I took it kind of impulsively with my phone. I need to take the time to set up my tripod next time!

      I don’t get it. I made a marbled pound cake with peanut butter years ago, and it was really dry. I thought I just messed something else up, but I think there is some trick I don’t know to get the texture right if you add peanut butter. Thank you, Kelley!

      Thank you, Mariah! I always think a PBJ sandwich sounds boring, and then as soon as I take a bite, I remember how much I love them. These muffins have the same flavor but a little more exciting than a plain old sandwich :)

    Andi these look so yummy! I always add sliced banana to my PB&J so this is right up my alley!

      My husband used to get a sandwich for lunch that called “Peanut Butter and Stuff” that had PBJ, banana, and I think something else too. He could eat it five days a week and never get tired of it. I had that in mind when I made these! Thank you, Annie :)

    This is a super cute and creative idea, Andi! I have never been a banana or jelly fan, but my daughter loves everything and I bet she would love to make these!

      Thanks, Kacey! I meant to say in the post that you could also stuff peanut butter in any muffin base if you already have one you like. Maybe you could do it with something besides banana :)
