How to Make Peanut Butter Jam Sandwich Muffins
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
- 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.
- Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and mix well until combined.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup milk, mixing well after each addition.
- 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.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill each muffin cup about halfway with batter.
- Top each muffin with 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite jam and 1 teaspoon of peanut butter (reserve 2 tbsp for the next step).
- Cover the jam and peanut butter with the remaining batter, filling each cup almost to the top.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 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!
