“Break open these muffins spiced with a hint of cinnamon and reveal sweet strawberry jam on the inside—delicious!”

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup plus 1 tbsp. sugar, divided
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup strawberry jam
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Mix the flour, 2⁄3 cup sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Combine the milk, vegetable oil and egg in a medium bowl. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring gently, until the dry ingredients are moistened.


Fill the muffin cups halfway with batter. Place 1 tsp. jam in the center of the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the jam.


Combine the remaining sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over each muffin. Bake until golden, 12–15 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm.
