Who would have ever thought that swirling a teaspoon of jelly into each little muffin whole would make such a big difference. Honestly. Why in the heck have we not thought of this before? These are ridiculous amounts of yummy. And before we go any further, if you are a strict Paleo (you know, one of those paleo peeps that will not even walk by the peanut butter aisle at the grocery store) then fear no more. We actually made these muffins with ALMOND BUTTER.
I know I know. Shame on us. The title of our recipe is a total fake out. It is a fraud. A scam. But you must admit, Almond Butter and Jelly just does not have the same flow… Peanut. Peanut Butter. AND JELLY! You can honestly use whatever kind of nut butter you want. Peanut Butter. Almond Butter. Cashew Nut Butter (now there’s an awkward mouthful for ya!) As long as you swirl a little of the sweet stuff on top its all the same right?
Speaking of sweet stuff. It is actually kind of funny because we have not been eating many sweets the last six weeks we have been focused on cleaning up our cooking department. So even a teeny tiny teaspoon of sugar free jelly tastes extra super swirled into these muffins. Makes us feel like rebels. Rebels without a cause. And even better, since there is zero added sugars in these delicious muffins, we feel like extra amazing moms feeding these too our kiddos. Now that is ridiculous amounts of awesome!!

Notes
Since these are all natural, we recommend keeping them in the fridge so they last longer!
Ashleigh says
Will oat flour effect the texture/baking time at all?
Kelly says
Maybe just add a teeny tiny bit more applesauce since Oat flour is a little more dry… but other than that it should work fine! ENJOY =)
