Perfect Jam Muffins

Our annual summer routine is berry picking, and this post should have been written at least a couple of months ago. This summer, we went olallieberry picking, and brought home a twenty dollar box of berries (picked ourselves!):

With the berries, we made about 12 jars of jam. Well, I didn't, but Josh did. He's an old pro in the kitchen. I came across a recipe that I wanted to try on Pinterest for olallieberry muffins. They were so delicious, they were pretty much gone that evening! I took the recipe and modified it just a little. The good thing about this particular recipe is that you can substitute any type of jam, homemade or not.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup jam

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add liners to your baking tin. Then, mix all of your dry ingredients together - flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In another bowl, mix most of the wet ingredients -  egg, vanilla, lemon juice, milk and oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, but do not overmix. Gently mix in the jam, so that it appears in a swirl. Definitely do not overmix this part!

Here's what they looked like coming out of my oven:

Delicious!! Happy baking!
