PB&J Muffins : A Low Carb Muffin that Kids Will Eat

No matter how creative you get with recipes and ingredients to tempt your kids most of them are just as happy to have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I can’t blame them, can you? A good PB&J with a glass of milk is just hard to beat. But we are also trying to make healthier choices so that means swapping out a few things. One thing we have cut back on is sugar, we chose no sugar added when we can and use artificial sweetener or honey occasionally to give our treats a sweet flavor, another way we cut back is by avoiding carbs from things like breads. Coconut flour is a great healthy alternative to all purpose flour and gives your baked goods a light texture as well. These Peanut Butter and Jelly muffins are a tasty and healthier twist on a classic favorite! They make a great breakfast, lunch, or snack for you or the kids.
