Servings: 12 muffins
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 15 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon creamy peanut butter
1 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup thick jam, such as seedless raspberry
1/3 cup honey-roasted peanuts, chopped
Compound butter, recipe follows

Compound Butter:
1 stick butter, room temperature
5 tablespoons of your favorite fruit preserve

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pulse in all of the peanut butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk, egg, and butter and pulse until combined.

Distribute half of the batter equally among the muffin cups. Drop a teaspoon of jam into each cup and cover with the remaining batter. Top with the chopped peanuts. Bake until the muffins are light golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or allow to cool completely. Spread compound butter ontop. Store in an airtight container. The muffins will keep for 1 to 2 days.

Compound Butter:
Combine ingredients together and chill until set.

Doubled the recipe and found the batter like a bread dough. It climbed the beaters of my mix master (I don't have a food processor). Added more milk and it didn't help much. Scooped the dough/batter into muffin papers, added jam and then scooped batter onto the jam. Also I added 1/4c coconut because we love coconut in our muffins. Baked them 18 min. and they were doughy still - should bake for at least 20 min.; probably could stay in the oven for more like 25 min. Tasty and good - a hit with my kids.

After catching Paula and her son making these on 'Paula's Best Dishes', I decided it would be a fun recipe to make with my daughter (she's 9 and loves to spend time in the kitchen with Mom). With a little help, she was able to make these muffins with ease! She is so proud to have the family eating 'her' muffins : ) Only one note, we decided not to do the compound butter... regular butter is quite tasty on these. Thanks Paula for such an easy and fun family recipe!

The recipe should be 2 tsp. of baking powder instead of tablespoons. And tastes great with a little extra peanut butter!

Followed everything and still had no taste. Out of the oven was ok, next day in the fridge was tasteless.
