Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.75 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups fruit jam (such as raspberry, strawberry, or apricot)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.

Step 6

Place a teaspoon of jam on top of each muffin. Using a toothpick or the tip of a knife, gently swirl the jam into the batter to create a marbled effect.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the tin and cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
