Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins

I found this recipe on the back of my bag of flour and thought it would be a fun one to try for the daycare kids at breakfast... I made up a batch and thought that they were pretty good, a little dry but that is fixable, I think that I mixed it together too much! The kids on the other hand were not big fans... This might be a recipe I am not quick to try again due to the tooth pulling that it took to get everyone to eat, but thought that I would toss it out to you in case you are a PB and J freak!!
