almond butter and guava jelly muffins in a muffin tin on a white surface

When you’re looking for a quick breakfast recipe on-to-go, there’s nothing better than a fluffy, soft muffin. Am I right? Muffins are easy to make and always taste SO good.

To shake things up, I’m making my own version of a classic PB&J muffin but instead of using peanut butter, I’m using almond butter and swirling it with delicious guava jelly on top.

I love adding new recipes using guava to my arsenal plus the sweet & tart taste of guava is incomparable.

This easy muffin recipe is one I love to make all the time because the flavors are just SO good! Here’s how I make it.

Muffin Pan

I love this non stick muffin pan for muffins and even mini frittatas! The textured aluminum creates an even bake for whatever you are making.

Recipe Tips

Want high domed muffins? Start with the oven at 425ºF and then reduce it to 350ºF as soon as you place the muffin tin in the oven. The initial high heat activates the leaveners (baking soda/baking powder) to create those pretty domed muffins.

Use drippy almond butter. This will make it easier to swirl. You can also use any other nut butter if you’d like.

Can’t find guava jelly? If you can’t find guava, you can boil down guava paste with a few tablespoons of water until you get a jam-like consistency. Feel free to use other types of jellies or jams if you can’t find guava or prefer another flavor.

What is the secret to making moist muffins?

There are 3 key things:
– use whole milk since it improves the muffin’s texture
– use brown sugar which helps them retain their moisture for a longer time, and lastly,
– be careful not to over mix the batter.

What makes a muffin light and fluffy?

To make muffins light and fluffy, you want to make sure to always use room temperature ingredients.
