In a small mixing bowl, bet the eggs, yogurt, peanut butter, and oil on low speed until smooth;stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened.
Fill greased or paper-lined mini muffin cups half full.
Top each with ¼ teaspoon jelly.
Then top with remaining batter.
Bake at 400 for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
