Jam Swirl Muffins

Ingredients:

1/3 cup (75 mL) Crisco® Canola Oil
1/2 cup (125 mL) milk
1 egg
3/4 cup (175 mL) unsweetened applesauce
2 cups (500 mL) Robin Hood® Nutri^TM Flour Blend
2/3 cup (150 mL) sugar
1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
1/4 tsp (1 mL) cinnamon
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
1/3 cup (75 mL) Smucker’s® Strawberry Jam

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease 10 cups of a 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper liners.
2. Combine wet ingredients (excluding jam for Jam Swirl Muffins) in medium-sized bowl. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir just until combined.
3. Add chocolate chips or strawberry jam, mixing lightly. Divide evenly among the 10 prepared muffin cups, pouring water into the 2 unused cups.
4. Bake in centre of preheated oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden and top springs back when lightly pressed. Cool in pan.

Note:

1. Stirring a muffin batter too vigorously will create tough muffins with pointed, peaked tops. Only stir the batter until all the dry ingredients are moistened.
2. Pouring water into unused muffin cups will prevent the cups from burning and the pan from warping.
3. Allow eggs to sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes before using in baking. Room temperature eggs will provide better volume in baked goods. Alternatively, place cold egg in bowl of warm water and let sit for 5 minutes.
4. Kid Friendly Recipe: Serve these muffins to your kids for breakfast – they taste great and your kids will never know they’re made with new Robin Hood® Nutri Flour^TM Blend!
