My Mom’s Jam Muffins
Servings 12 muffins
Jam muffins made with your favourite jam - a simple, old-fashioned recipe perfect for breakfast or snacks.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon grated orange rind
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- a generous ½ cup desiccated or flaked coconut
- 2 eggs well beaten
- a generous ½ cup of jam
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C or 170°C for a fan oven).
- Melt the butter. Set aside and allow to cool a bit.
- Combine the flours, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
- Stir in the coconut and orange rind.
- Beat egg in a small bowl, and then stir in the jam with a fork, breaking up lumps as much as possible. Add the milk, vanilla and melted butter and mix thoroughly.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients all at once and stir just to combine. The batter will be lumpy.
- Divide batter between muffin cups lined with paper liners and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned and the tops spring back when touched lightly.
- Serve warm. Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container. Re-warm before serving.
