Easy Jam Muffins

Excellent recipe which I’ve made many times. Moist & extremely tasty. I tossed a big glob of apricot jam in with the batter, and cooked for 17 min. Big 5 star + from me. Thank you.

Yum! Added more jam than recipe called for.

They came out beautiful. I did some with the jam on top and some in the middle. I think if you tried to use 2 Tablespoons of jam, it would make a huge mess. I used 2 teaspoons which was more than enough. They all came out nice. I made this a gluten free recipe. I used 1 .5 cups rice flour and .5 cup of corn starch. I also added more sugar. 1 Tablespoon of baking powder? No way. I used 1.5 teaspoon. I cannot imagine using so much baking powder. I will make these again.

Just made these and finished eating one of them. YUM!! I took some peoples advice. I used applesauce in place of the oil. Added 1/4 cup extra sugar and a tablespoon of vanilla extract. Put the jam in the middle of the muffin. They were plenty sweet without being too sweet. I was afraid of using too much jam and they definitely could have used more. I put walnuts on top of every other one. I liked those the best. I will be making these again and again!!

It is a very simple recipe. I used applesauce instead of an egg since I didn’t have any eggs in my refrigerator. Also, next time I will fill my muffins 1/2 way then add the jam and then add more muffin mix.

Not the best muffins in the world. You definitely need to bury the jam in there or else it just sits at the top. Next time I will try some of the other comment recommendations because they were a bit bland (but that might just be because my jam was only at the top of the muffin…). That being said, they were still pretty good. A few adjustments and they’ll be great next time!

These muffins remind me of some that I had in a fancy B&B in Taos, NM. They had some with jam, and some with fresh fruit with coarse sugar sprinkled on the top. They come out perfect for me every time. Be careful not to use too much jam and press your chunk of jam in a little. I mix the nuts into the batter. These are best when they are fresh out of the oven. Not as good cold. I have also put raisins or craisins, into the batter. This recipe is basic and I think you can be creative and the results will be good.

I LOVED THIS RECIPE. I made it for a class and it was really amazing. I used strawberry jam since i could not get the fruit itself, but it was worth it. Soft, and just right. It tasted really good!

Great basic recipe. The better the jam the better these will turn out. These go up against a family recipe that hides the jam at the bottom of the muffin which is strict competition. I will need to add the recipe here.

I like the gooey jam surprise. The muffins leave some to be desired somehow..

Perfect!! Just made these and the whole family loves them. They are soft & moist inside, with a slight crunch on the outside. Just great! Three little changes: Added 1 tsp vanilla with the wet ingredients, swirled the jam into each muffin a little then put a little more batter on top, and baked at 350 for 20 minutes. Made 12 smallish muffins. I will make them again a lot!

super yummy and quick to make

We enjoyed these muffins. Because I have small children and I didn’t feel like having a jam mess, I mixed the jam into the muffin batter right before putting in the muffin tin. You could taste it throughout the muffin, yum! Next time I will add 4 tbs of jam. I also subbed applesauce for the oil, because I was out of oil. I would have given these muffins 4 stars, but my picky kids enjoyed them so much that it deserves a 5!

Simple and Easy…Good tasting Muffin…

loved it! We added a dash of Vanilla to the mix.

So good and not overly sweet like so many muffins. Make sure to put the jam in the centre of the muffin or it spills on the tin and it is difficult to clean up.

made a HUGE mess in my oven! I followed other reviewers’ recommendations and put the jam in the center vs on top and they still bubbled out all in my oven, what a mess! I even used cupcake liners. They may taste great, however right now, I’ve got a sticky mess to deal with 🙁

Very bland and needs more sugar to plain

Jam overflowed and made a mess in the oven. I plan to try another recipe next time that calls for putting the jam in the middle of the muffin as opposed to the top.

great muffins! Perfect texture, moist & soft on the inside…I did the same as some others recommended, filled the trays to half way, added a drop of jam, then poured the rest of the mixture on top. This sealed in the jam nicely so it wasn’t bubbling out. I also added a teaspoon of Vanilla Essence to the mix, which I think is needed for a little more sweetness. Overall, super quick, easy, delicious muffins!

My sons helped make these for breakfast this morning. Quick and easy, and they came out delicious! I used rice milk, coconut oil, and strawberry jam. Be sure to press the jam into the muffin as the recipe states, or layer each muffin with batter, then the jam, then more batter on top. I forgot the nuts, but will definitely add them next time.
