Ingredients

• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 50 grams almond flour
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 80 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 120 milliliters milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons almond extract
• 2 large eggs
• 120 grams jam (any flavor, e.g., raspberry, strawberry, or apricot)
• 30 grams sliced almonds (optional, for topping)
• 10 grams powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, and eggs. Make sure the melted butter is not too hot to avoid curdling the eggs.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Spoon a tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup to create a base layer.

Step 6

Add about 1 teaspoon of jam into the center of each muffin cup on top of the base layer. Avoid touching the edges of the muffin cups with the jam.

Step 7

Cover the jam with another tablespoon of batter, ensuring the jam is fully sealed inside the muffin.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle a few sliced almonds on top of each muffin for added texture and flavor.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the edge of a muffin (avoiding the jam center) comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once cooled, lightly dust the tops of the muffins with powdered sugar for an elegant finish, if desired.

Step 12

Serve the muffins and enjoy their soft almond flavor paired with the sweet jam filling!
