Baked Doughnut muffins with Blueberry Jam
Baked Doughnut Muffins filled with blueberry jam combine a tender, moist muffin crumb with a sweet, fruity center. The dough incorporates yogurt, eggs, and melted butter, producing a moist texture and subtle tang, while the jam in the middle adds bursts of blueberry flavor. Rolling the muffins in caster sugar after baking recreates the signature doughnut coating. These muffins offer a baked alternative to fried doughnuts with a soft, sugary exterior and a fruity surprise inside.
