Missing PB&J treats? If you have peanut allergies, here’s a fun breakfast you can enjoy: Dairy Free SunButter Jam Muffins, they are also gluten free and egg free!
I love Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches, but around our house we haven’t’ seen a peanut butter jelly sandwich in a long time. Between my kid’s peanut allergy and my intolerance to wheat and baker’s yeast, the closest thing I have come to a good PB&J has been an AB&J (almond butter jam) rice cake. Yummy still, but just not the same.
I saw Allison’s recipe for Peanut Butter Jelly Muffins from Alli ‘n Sons blog and just knew I had to give them a whirl. I made some modifications to make these nut-free by using SunButter and I also made these gluten-free and allergy-friendly.
I made the first batch on Saturday, tweaked the recipe and made a second batch on Sunday. These turned out yummy! They taste the best warm, so I like to warm the left-over muffins in the microwave for a few seconds.
