Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups milk
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cups your favorite jam (e.g., strawberry, raspberry, or apricot)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and cohesive.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir together until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Spoon half of the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about halfway.

Step 6

Add about 1 teaspoon of your favorite jam to the center of each muffin cup on top of the batter.

Step 7

Cover the jam with the remaining batter, ensuring the jam is fully sealed inside the batter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the edge of a muffin (not the jam center) comes out clean.

Step 9

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 10

Optional: Once the muffins are cooled, dust the tops with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
