Peanut Butter And Jelly Muffins

Ingredients for the Chia Jam

  • 10 ounces (2 heaping cups) frozen or fresh raspberries, or other berries of your choice
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Juice from half a lemon
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds

Ingredients for the Muffins

  • 2 cups spelt flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 cup dairy-free milk
  • 1/2 cup refined coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chia jam, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Preheat and Prep the Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease each cup individually if not using liners.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, baking powder, and sea salt until fully combined.

Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a medium bowl, mix the coconut sugar, dairy-free milk, refined coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour this mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins light and fluffy.

Fill and Layer the Muffins

Fill each muffin cup halfway with the batter. Using a wet spoon, create a small indentation in the center of each portion. Add about 1/2 teaspoon each of creamy peanut butter and chia jam into the indentations.

Top and Swirl

Top with more batter, smoothing the tops by wetting the spoon. It’s okay if some filling shows. Add an additional 1/2 teaspoon each of peanut butter and chia jam on top of each muffin. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl them together.

Bake and Cool

Bake the muffins for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 15 minutes before removing. Serve with extra chia jam if desired.
