Quick Strawberry Jam-Filled Muffins

Here’s a simple recipe for quick strawberry jam-filled muffins:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Strawberry jam (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Fill Muffin Cups: Fill each muffin cup about one-third full with the batter.
6. Add Jam: Spoon about a teaspoon of strawberry jam into the center of each muffin cup.
7. Top with Remaining Batter: Cover the jam with the remaining batter, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
