Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam Muffins
Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam Muffins
Can you believe that its Spring already? It felt like a long, cold winter so Im really looking forward to the lighter days and warmer weather. Ive decided to have a little spring clean of my blog and give it a makeover - do let me know what you think. Its not quite what I want but its a start for now particularly as Im not very tech savvy!
If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will know how much I love peanut butter. I wanted to bake something for breakfast and decided on my favourite combination of peanut butter and jam but in a muffin form. I added peanut butter chips for extra flavour which worked really well. You can clearly taste the peanut butter and the jam added a lovely sweetness to the saltiness of the peanut butter. These are quite filling and make for a good breakfast.
