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

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.
2
Fill the muffin cups halfway with batter. Place 1 tsp. jam in the center of the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the jam.
3
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.

These muffins are perfect to serve with afternoon tea. Let your guests choose from an assortment of teas.

Add fresh fruit to these muffins by folding 1 cup blueberries into the muffin mixture at the end of Step 1 and omit the jam filling.
