I was excited to try these; however, disappointed with the results. I thought they were very, very dry and didn't have much flavor at all. My kids did not like them at all. I am actually amazed that there were so many good reviews about this recipe.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins
Consider these muffins a breakfast version of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Don't use a natural-style peanut butter in this recipe; it won't have enough sugar or fat to help the muffins rise.
