Jam Filled Muffins

This Jam filled muffins are actually a basic recepi and can be prepared in a simple and easy way without the use of fancy ingredients or utensils. Home cooked jam works wonderful with this recepi but due to my hectic schedule i opted for a shortcut version by using store bought jam which is as great as it is. For a best result try to use good quality fruit jam.

Jam filled muffin are an ideal choice for breakfast. The jam reminds me of fruit jam smeared bread toast we usually have for breakfast. I used raspberry jam for the filling...you can use jam of your preference or even marmalade works wonder as a filling in this slightly sweet and soft muffin. Its moist and comes with surprise filling of fruit jam. The perfect combo for a weekday breakfast
