I’ve been on a bit of a muffin craze lately.. It’s all good cause muffins are great, you can have them for breakfast, lunch, snack.. well pretty much anytime of the day and it’s not like, wait..what. you had a muffin?? 😉 I had peanut butter and jelly on my mind.. and thought what a perfect combination for my next muffin creation.. and they tunred out amazing (if I don’t say so myself!) With a bursting of Jelly and PB in the middle finished with a nice crumbled topping they make the perfect “any time” of day treat! 🙂
