Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour for a healthier twist
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain salt or sea salt
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or whole milk use your preferred milk alternative
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup jam or jelly choose your favorite variety

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat Your Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly and rise beautifully.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Muffin Tin - Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners to prevent sticking.
  • Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Step 4: Combine the Wet Ingredients - In another bowl, mix the peanut butter, egg, sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  • Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients - Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined.
  • Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tin - Spoon the muffin batter into each mini muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
  • Step 7: Add the Jam - Create a small indentation in the center of each muffin and fill it with about a teaspoon of jam or jelly.
  • Step 8: Bake the Muffins - Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Step 9: Cool and Enjoy - Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
