My son is a very picky eater and I actually have to hide them from him. I cut back on the jelly/jam to 1tsp so they are not as messy and added wheat germ for a little extra nutrition. Very tasty!

this muffin recipe is wonderful! the PB flavor really comes through, i used a little more then 2 teaspoons of jam and used raspberry which was wonderful, this is a keeper for sure, thanks for sharing Kitty, this was made for KK's Tag forum event

This is a fantastic tasting muffin! However, it is way too sweet to make a regularly occurring treat. I used natural, no-sugar added, peanut butter and homemade low-sugar strawberry perserves. The muffin tastes like a peanut butter cookie! No complaints by me. :-) But, it's not something I would ever serve as a substitute for a good breakfast - this is definitely a dessert muffin.
