Baked Doughnut muffins with Blueberry Jam
Description
Baked Doughnut Muffins with Blueberry Jam start by combining dry ingredients—caster sugar, plain flour, and baking powder—with wet ingredients including yoghurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. This batter is folded together until combined, then portioned into a greased muffin tin. A teaspoon of blueberry preserves is added into the center of each muffin before being topped with more batter, ensuring a jam-filled core after baking.
Once baked until golden and cooked through, muffins are cooled briefly in the tin and then rolled in caster sugar to provide a doughnut-like coating. The result is a soft, slightly tangy muffin with a sweet blueberry filling and a crisp sugar exterior. The yogurt in the batter contributes moisture and tenderness, while the blueberry jam adds bursts of fruity flavor inside.
Serve these muffins warm or at room temperature for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack. The jam center offers a pleasant surprise inside each muffin, making them a simple, baked treat that's different from traditional doughnuts but maintains a similar flavor profile.
