Recipe: Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly Muffins

PEANUT BUTTER AND GRAPE JELLY MUFFINS

"Here are the children's favorites -peanut butter and grape jelly - all jumbled together. Use either chunky or creamy peanut butter."

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Grape jelly

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with melted butter or coat with vegetable spray.

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl, stirring well.

In a separate bowl, blend the egg, milk and butter. Using a rubber spatula, swiftly beat the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Quickly beat in the peanut butter and peanuts if desired. (If the children dislike the chopped peanuts, forget them.)

Fill each muffin cup one-half full. Top with one teaspoon of grape jelly and cover each with remaining batter.

Bake muffins 20 to 25 minutes.

Makes 12 muffins
