Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins

Who doesn’t love a yummy peanut butter and jelly sandwich? I know I do, but I don’t eat them very often.  They are pretty much loaded with carbs and fat, contain very little protein, and leave me hungry for more.

These muffins take the classic sandwich up a notch and to a whole new level – and if they are one of my recipes, you know they are packed with protein to keep you feeling fuller longer, nutritious, delicious and of course, SUPER easy to make!  For those that follow a gluten free diet, you can enjoy these scrumptious muffins too!

These babies are bursting with major flavor! One bite into them and you will know what I am talking about! They are soft, fluffy, decadent and packed with so many flavors your tastebuds are sure to go wild!  The good news is that you can eat them with no guilt, because they are good for you and won’t sabotage your health and fitness goals one bit!

My peanut butter and jelly muffins are so outrageous I can’t wait for you to try them!
