These muffins taste just like a traditional PB & J. They use PB2 but you can use any peanut powder that you like to cut down on the calories and fat. I also used a homemade sugar-free jam (I'm slightly obsessed with making jams and canning, but that's for another day). They go up by a point each if you use a low-sugar jam. I've made them with both strawberry and raspberry jam and these healthy muffins didn't last more than a couple days. They will also freeze really well.
