  • Pour 1 Tablespoon of batter in each of 12 muffin spots. Top with 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam in the center.
  • Top each muffin with the remaining batter. Spread the batter out so it covers the strawberry jam and the batter touches the sides.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

    • Do not overbeat the batter. The batter will be lumpy, and that's fine. Overbeating will make for a tough muffin texture.
    • I like to keep the strawberry jam in the center of the muffin so it doesn't seep out and burn onto the sides of the pan.
    • Spread the top batter evenly over the top of the strawberry jam so that the batter touches the sides of the cupcake pan. This makes the muffins prettier in appearance.
    • Buttering the top of the muffins as they come out of the oven is optional, but highly recommended. It takes the flavor over the top.
    • Lemon zest is optional but recommended. If you don't have any on hand, just skip that step.
    • My favorite type of strawberry jam is hands down is Bonne Maman. It tastes just like my grandma's homemade jam.
