Description
These delicious peanut butter and jam cruffins are a sweet twist on a classic treat, perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each)
- 1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
- 3/4 cup Fruit jam (preserves or jelly: we are using Raspberry Preserves)
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Line a muffin tin with liners or grease well with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
- Unroll crescent dough, one can at a time onto a clean surface. If you are using a cutting board, you might lightly sprinkle it with flour to keep the dough from sticking. Press the seams together.
- Dollop peanut butter over the dough and spread evenly. An offset spatula works great for spreading.
- Spoon fruit preserves or jam over the peanut butter and spread evenly.
- Roll the dough up from the long side.
- Cut the dough log in half on the perforated seam.
- Next, slice each dough half lengthwise using a serrated knife.
- Carefully twist each piece of dough, exposing the cut side out. Start with one end and roll up to create a sweet roll.
- Place each roll into a lined muffin tin.
- Wipe the work surface clean and repeat with remaining two cans of crescent dough, making 12 cruffins.
- Bake for 20 – 22 minutes or until muffins are golden brown and the centers are baked through.
- Remove from oven.
- Use a sharp knife to loosen the edges from the muffin tin and place on a wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure to roll the dough tightly to ensure that the filling stays in while baking.
- This recipe can be easily customized with different types of jams or nut butters.
