Ingredients

• 240 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 80 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 180 milliliters Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 120 grams Jam (any flavor)
• 10 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Spoon one heaping tablespoon of batter into each muffin liner, creating a base layer.

Step 6

Add about 1 teaspoon of jam to the center of each muffin cup. Be careful to keep the jam in the middle and not let it touch the edges of the liner.

Step 7

Top the jam with another tablespoon of batter, ensuring the jam is fully covered. The liners should be about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the non-jam part of the muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Optional: Dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
