Jam Muffins
This easy muffin recipe has a surprise in the middle - your favorite jam!
Equipment
- 1 muffin tin
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup applesauce, unsweetened
- 2 cups flour
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- Grease 10 cups of a 12-cup muffin pan or line the muffin cups with paper liners. Pour water into any empty muffin cups.
- Combine the wet ingredients, except the jam, in a medium-size bowl.
- Add the flour and blend in the sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir just until combined.
- Use half of the batter and divide it evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Then add a spoonful of your favorite jam to each muffin cup on top of the batter.
- Top up each muffin cup with more batter to encase the jam. Each muffin cup should end up being about 2/3 full. (See the image of the batter topped with jam in the muffin cups).
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are golden and the top springs back when lightly pressed.
- I always check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the muffins. When the toothpick comes out dry (no wet batter on it), the muffins are ready.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then place them on a rack to finish cooling.
- Enjoy these muffins on their own or with a bit of butter.
- Makes 10 muffins.
