Kids Favorite Biscuits
Kids will love these fun, bite-sized biscuits filled with sweet peanut butter and jelly, perfect for a quick snack or playful appetizer for children and families.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Separate the refrigerated buttermilk biscuits and pat each into the bottom and up the sides of a greased muffin pan.
- In a small bowl, combine peanut butter and jelly until smooth.
- Place a rounded tablespoon of the peanut butter and jelly mixture into each biscuit cup.
- Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fun twist, try using almond butter or Nutella instead of peanut butter. You can also experiment with fruit preserves like strawberry or raspberry jelly for different flavors. If you want to make the biscuits even more appealing, sprinkle some mini chocolate chips on top before baking. Just ensure the muffin pan is well-greased to prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuit cups make a delightful breakfast or snack on their own. Serve them alongside a glass of milk or your favorite smoothie for a balanced meal. They also pair well with Easy Creamy Broccoli Soup for a savory option. Consider adding fresh fruit on the side for a colorful and nutritious touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuit cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving to maintain the biscuit's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade biscuits instead of refrigerated ones?
Absolutely! If you prefer homemade, you can use your favorite biscuit recipe. Just ensure they are similar in size and texture to refrigerated buttermilk biscuits for the best results. This way, you can control the ingredients and flavors more closely.
What can I do if I don't have a muffin pan?
If you don't have a muffin pan, you can use a baking sheet to create freeform biscuit cups. Simply flatten the biscuits and create small nests with the peanut butter and jelly mixture in the center. Adjust the baking time slightly as they may cook faster.
Can I freeze these biscuit cups?
Yes, you can freeze the baked biscuit cups! Allow them to cool completely, then store them in a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be frozen for up to two months. When ready to eat, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as directed.
