Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcakes

Last updated on December 23, 2021 By Anna 2 Comments This post may contain affiliate links.

April 2 is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day, so Happy Peanut Butter and Jelly Day! Maybe take some time to ponder why some things go together better than others - or at least why peanut butter and jelly go together.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcakes

I know it’s a little late in the day to give you the recipe, but now you’ll be all set for next year when it rolls around again. Or maybe you could make these tonight? The ingredients for Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcakes are things you probably have in the pantry.

I filled my cupcakes with raspberry preserves, but I'll bet they'd be really good with grape or strawberry.  Or forget the jelly and go with chocolate chips!
