I want to eat these muffins seriously every day. I don’t know why I’ve never stuffed jelly into muffins before. What a dummy I am.
Yesterday, something really exciting happened to me. Let me give you a little back story. I LOVE watching Cupcake Wars. It’s pretty much the only show I watch on the Food Network anymore. I just absolutely love to see the flavors these bakers come up with. But I started loving Cupcake Wars even more when Kyra, a gluten free baker, began killing it with her crazy, creative cupcakes. Well, I fell in love with her and all the cupcakes she created, so I did what anyone would do and started stalking her on instagram. And when I left a comment on one of her pictures, SHE WROTE BACK and said that she’s been following my blog for years. I pretty much died. I seriously let out a small scream in a fit of joy. She’s so great. I hope I get to try her gluten free cupcakes someday. I may have to go to Oregon on my book tour just so I can try those beautiful things.
Another exciting thing happened to me yesterday. I got to hang out with Michelle from Nom Nom Paleo!! Have you bought her cookbook yet? It’s stunning. Anywho, she came to Denver to do a book signing and I was lucky enough to get a quick dinner with her. She picked Root Down to grab some food at, which was genius because I hadn’t been there in forever and I forgot how good it was. We got the brussels sprouts and kale salad, seared columbian arepas, bison meatballs and the beef short ribs. We both weren’t incredibly hungry so I’m lucky enough to have leftovers for breakfast today. YAY ME!! Pretty bummed we didn’t get to have dessert but there was just not enough room in our guts. That restaurant is delicious. The only thing I can complain about is when I walked in and walked up to the desk, the hostess looked at me and said, “Yeah?” Super welcoming.
You know what is kind of strange? Every picture I’ve posted on instagram lately, someone comments about my eyebrows. I don’t think I ever notice other people’s eyebrows.
Are any of you making something special for St. Patrick’s Day this weekend? Or doing something special? I’m guessing most people will say drinking. I can’t decide what to do. The past 3 years, I’ve stayed at home because I’ve been training or cooking away. Or making the excuse that I was training or cooking, so I didn’t have to go out and get drunk as balls. So what to do this year. That is the question. Tell me things!

Killer combo, Juli! I was eating up the batter embarrassingly….but eventually they made it into muffin form and my boyfriend loved them! I love that they’re nut free, too! So good 🙂
O M G. These look freakishly to die for. I think I am going to have to replace the eggs with flax eggs and give them a try… anything PB&J and I am SO in.
Another great recipe!! I made your jam first and it surely did thicken up nicely and the muffins are moist and yummy. I normally don’t do many treats but I participated in my first crossfit team competition and so I felt like I owed it to myself to indulge in one of your recipes. Thanks for all you do. BTW you got me so addicted to Orange is the New Black and now I am waiting like a crack addict for the next season!
What would be a good replacement for the bananas in this recipe? I’m allergic:(
you could use a pureed squash such as sweet potato or pumpkin
These are delicious. My only issue was the jelly sank to the bottom. Any suggestions?
maybe the muffins just needed a little more batter on the bottom
I had the same problem. For my second batch, I even tried to put the jelly on top of the whole muffin, thinking it would soak through halfway, but it still went to the bottom. They’re yummy (a huge hit at my house) but definitely not the same presentation as yours.
Made these in honor of PB+J day– used a heaping cup of applesauce (the last of the homemade stuff from the fall) and almond butter, and it worked just fine! Think my quarter cup of coconut flour was also on the big side..
These were a hit with everyone in my house! My husband was quite impressed with the middle being filled with jelly! 🙂 Thank you for making me look good! 🙂
HI there
I’m trying to cut down on sweeteners/carbs. If I were to eliminate the honey in this recipe, would I need make any another modifications? Thanks!
Just found your site and am laughing out loud!

i don’t think so but i haven’t made them that way, but they will definitely taste different
These are so amazingly awesome! My son had just finished off my raspberry stash the other day so I subbed strawberries in instead for the jam and it was so delish!! Thanks for putting together this recipe! I will definitely be making these again!
Made them without honey and used almond butter, since I was fresh out of sunflower seed butter. Wow! These are awesome! I miss pb&j and this is even better. Just love your recipes, it really makes paleo more fun when you can have a tasty treat. If anyone is hesitating making them w/o honey, don’t, still plenty sweet with my tj’s reduced sugar jelly inside. Oh, and I got 12 muffins, score!
