Perfect Afternoon Snack

Hungry kiddos looking for a quick snack after school will go crazy for these Mini Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins. They taste just like a PB&J, with a healthy boost from whole wheat flour and Greek yogurt and have lots of peanut butter and jelly flavor all throughout them. So delicious!

Who doesn’t love a good PB&J?! And this marvelous muffin version is sweet, snackable and oh so scrumptious!

Make them Ahead for the Week

We often start our day out with a muffin or two. Some of our favorites are Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins (and their mini version) and these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Greek Yogurt Muffins. So hearty and delicious.

I love baking these mini muffins ahead of the week so we can eat a few for breakfast that morning, maybe even pack one in their lunch boxes as a treat for lunch, and of course, have them on a plate waiting to devour as an after-school snack. They’re easy to bake and yummy to eat.
