Ingredients

  • 3 cans refrigerated crescent dough 8 ounces each
  • 1 cup peanut butter crunchy or creamy
  • ¾ 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

  • Storage: PBJ Cruffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerated for 3-4 days.
  • Reheat: Place cruffins in a toaster oven (remove paper liners first) or a 325° oven until heated through.
  • Variations: Any nut butter will work for this recipe: almond butter is a great option. If using a natural nut butter, stir well before spooning onto the dough.
