Quick Strawberry Jam-Filled Muffins
Ingredients:
- – 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- – 1/2 cup sugar
- – 2 teaspoons baking powder
- – 1/2 teaspoon salt
- – 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- – 1 large egg
- – 1/2 cup milk
- – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- – 1/4 cup strawberry jam (or your favorite jam)
- – Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
1. **Preheat the Oven**:
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
– Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups.
2. **Mix Dry Ingredients**:
– In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. **Mix Wet Ingredients**:
– In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
4. **Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients**:
– Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
– Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. **Fill the Muffin Cups**:
– Fill each muffin cup about one-third full with the batter.
– Add a teaspoon of strawberry jam to the center of each muffin cup.
– Top with more batter until the muffin cups are about two-thirds full.
6. **Bake the Muffins**:
– Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the edge (avoiding the jam center) comes out clean.
– Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. **Optional Finishing Touch**:
– Dust the cooled muffins with powdered sugar if desired.
Tips:
– For an extra strawberry flavor, you can add small pieces of fresh strawberries to the batter.
– These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
