How to Make Peanut Butter Jam Sandwich Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup (2 sticks) creamy peanut butter, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and mix well until combined.
  4. Gradually add 1/2 cup milk, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about halfway with batter.
  8. Top each muffin with 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite jam and 1 teaspoon of peanut butter (reserve 2 tbsp for the next step).
  9. Cover the jam and peanut butter with the remaining batter, filling each cup almost to the top.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Enjoy! Variations: Use different jams (strawberry, grape, etc.) or peanut butter varieties (crunchy, etc.)

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
