Peanut Butter and Jelly Power Muffins

Peanut Butter and Jelly Power Muffins Recipe

Ingredients
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup maple sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons old-fashioned oats
3 tablespoons raisins
¼ cup chopped peanuts, divided
½ cup soy milk
4 tablespoons canola oil
6 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 medium bananas, mashed
4 tablespoons strawberry jam

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 20 (2-inch) muffin cups.
2. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, maple sugar and cinnamon. Add oats, raisins and half the peanuts.
3. Combine soy milk, oil, maple syrup, vanilla, peanut butter, vinegar and bananas. Mash until well blended. Add to dry ingredients, stirring to mix just until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overmix.
4. Fill muffin cups two-thirds full with batter, then drop a little jam onto the top of each muffin. Sprinkle with remaining peanuts. Bake about 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Spoon extra jam on top, if desired. Makes 20 muffins.

I made these muffins this morning and I love the flavor. However, the recipe only made 12 muffins (instead of 20), took 20 minutes longer to bake than the recipe said, and they completely collapsed in the middle. Has anyone else had a problem with this recipe? I'm wondering if there isn't supposed to be a cup of all-purpose flour in addition to the cup of whole wheat flour.

When we tested these muffins, they fell in the middle, but we added some extra jam in the center to improve their appearance.

Did you use mini-muffin tins? The yield depends totally on the size of the muffin cups, and cooking time will vary acorrding to the size as well.

No, I used standard muffin tins. That must be the cause of most of my problems with this recipe. Thanks for getting back to me. I'll look forward to trying these out again.

Thanks!
