Jammy Muffins

This recipe is just a fun little twist on the regular jam and muffins breakfast ritual.  I grew up eating these for breakfast and now have my kids loving them as well.  The fun thing about the recipe is that there is such a variety of ways to make it with the different types of jam that it really doesnt get "old".  Try it out and let me know what you think....

Jammy Muffins

1 & 2/3 c. flour 

½ c. sugar

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp. salt

1/8 tsp cinnamon 

1/3 c. shortening

¾ c. milk   

1 egg

2 c. any flavor jam

nuts (if desired)

Mix first 8 ingredients together to make muffin batter (I use a bit more milk than what's called for). Spoon into greased muffin tins. Add 1 tsp jam on top of each muffin, pressing into the batter slightly. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. 

 

It's a pretty quick and simple recipe and like I said, my kiddos LOVE them!!
