I just love the morning hours. I know, I might be a loner here as for most of us, its mostly just too hectic and stressful to like it. Well, sounds about same for me as well. However, I still love this time of the day. The busy hours, the hectic schedule, the breakfast recipes, just jumping into the day without thinking about anything. Its all so much busy and life-like.

More than all of this, I love cooking in the morning. I love Breakfast recipes. Be it those Oatmeals or Sandwiches or Eggs or Burgers or Breakfast Potatoes, Hash Browns and of course my cup of Coffee. It just calls my name! I love making Breakfasts for my family, for you guys and also enjoy eating them at peace after all the noise shuts down...!

For me, Peanut Butter and Jelly is my go-to Sandwich recipe. It's something, I think I am having since I don't know when. It's my morning staple along with a cup of Yogurt or Granola and Juice.

To even think about the idea of making anything including Peanut Butter and Jelly gets me excited. 🥰 🍞

😋 Let's talk taste

These muffins have a perfect taste of Peanut Butter and Jam in every bite. I also love the hint of the taste of Coconut Oil. It really tastes so good with the Peanut Butter.

These muffins surely taste like our favorite PB&J Sandwiches. It's so simple yet so delicious.

🥘 Ingredients

• Gluten Free Baking Flour - I use Bob's Red Meal 1 to 1 Baking Flour. You can use any other kind of Gluten Free Flour mix you can find.
• Almond Meal - Almond Meal is different from Almond Flour. It gives a nutty texture to these Muffins.
• Peanut Butter - You can use Creamy or Nutty Peanut Butter.
• Unsweetened Apple Sauce - Use Unsweetened Apple Sauce as its healthy and free of refined sugar. Its the perfect replacement for eggs. You don't even need Flax eggs or Chia Eggs.
• Coconut Oil - Use melted Coconut Oil to combine everythign together.
• Coconut Sugar - Vegan and Healthy Coconut Sugar is perfect to sweetned these Muffins
• Maple Syrup - Maple Syrup and Mornings go hand in hand. You can also use Agave Nectar. If not Vegan, then you can obviously sub with Honey.
• Strawberry Jam - Use naturally sweetned Jam
• Almond Milk - Use sugar free Almond Milk. Its easily availble and such a healthy choice.
• Baking Soda - Used to bake the muffins
• Baking Powder - The leavening agent to make the Muffins fluffy and soft.
• Cider Vinegar - This acts like an acid and reacts with the Baking Powder & Soda to activate them.

See the recipe card for quantities. Also, watch the video for a quick visual.

📝 Instructions

STEP 1: MIX THE WET INGREDIENTS

• Start by preheating the oven to 350F or 180C and line a muffin tin with Parchement paper or just grease generously with cooking spray.
• Mix all the wet ingredients (Coconut Sugar, Melted Coconut Oil, Creamy Peanut Butter, Maple Syrup, Cider Vinegar and Unsweetned Apple Sauce) together using a whisk or hand held mixer or stand mixer

STEP 2: FOLD THE DRY INGREDIENTS

• Now, fold the dry ingredients - Gluten Free Flour, Baking Soda, Baking powder, Salt, Almond Meal.
• Pour Almond Milk and fold to combine everything.

STEP 3: BAKE THE MUFFINS

• Scoop out the batter and pour in the lined muffin tin
• Top with some more Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam
• Use a toothpick to lightly swirl on the top
• Bake @350F or 180C for 25-20 minutes
• After the muffins gets baked, allow them to cool down in the sam pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack for the muffins to cool down and serve.

Remember that the muffin batter should be thick. It should have a scoopable consistency and shoundn't be runny.

Hint: If your Muffin Batter is to runny, then you might add some Baking Flour and fold with the batter.

📝 Substitutions

• Mashed Bananas - If you donot have access to unsweetened Apple Sauce, use Mashed Bananas as a replacement.
• Lemon juice - use Lemon juice instead of Cider Vinegar
• Eggs - for non vegan version you can include two large eggs in the muffin batter.

I like to use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour for this recipe. Its gluten free and so healthy and works absolutely perfect every single time.

However, you can use Oats flour as a replacement.

Also, if you want, you can add some rolled Oats in the batter to give these muffins a chewy taste.

🧊 Storage

To store these muffins, line an air-tight container with parchment paper. Place the muffins in it and top with another Parchment Paper, before you cover with the lid. You can store muffins this way for 2-4 days at room temperature. Do not Refrigerate muffins as they will become soggy.

If you wish to Freeze these Muffins, then wrap individual Muffins with Plastic wrap and then again with Aluminium foil and freeze for 2 months.

To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and gently reheat them in the oven.
