Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Apricot jam
• 2 tablespoons Confectioners' sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, whole milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until fully blended.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix gently using a spatula or wooden spoon until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and tender.

Step 5

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into the bottom of each muffin cup.

Step 6

Add 1 teaspoon of apricot jam to the center of each muffin cup. Then, cover the jam with another tablespoon of batter, ensuring the jam is fully enclosed.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Optional: Dust the tops of the cooled muffins with confectioners' sugar for a decorative touch.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your homemade apricot jam muffins!
