It’s likely you could live on these cupcakes for a few days, if you had to. I speak from experience.
I really just wanted to have some fun with the nut butter cream frosting I created, and I love peanut butter and jelly. And, of course if you can’t eat peanut butter you can use almond butter, cashew butter, or another kind of nut or seed butter.
These might get a bit messy to try to fit into a lunch box, but they will make a heavenly after school snack or even a breakfast cupcake. Yes, I just invented the breakfast cupcake.
I used the vanilla cupcakes with coconut flour, but feel free to use your favorite vanilla cupcake recipe.

you might laugh but any chance you would do a gluten free / grain free fruit cake recipe?
thank you for considering!
Yes, would definitely consider it! thanks for asking 🙂
Delicious!! Your recipes are the best. One of the best things about this recipe is that you ‘have to’ eat the little parts you scoop out for the jelly as you are making them! Seriously though. Easy, fail-proof tested recipe that hits all the right spots. Thank you very much for you hard work perfecting these recipes.
Ha! You discovered fun part of filling these 🙂 Thank you for the kind words!
