These are great. I listened to other reviewers and cut down the amount of jam I used. I will not do that next time. I think I'll try adding a whole teaspoon for a more delicious jam taste in ever muffin. I am going to make these again with all the different jam flavors!

I just whipped this recipe up in about an hour and a half, with all clean up and such. Here's the recipe I followed (from various readers input and what I had in my kitchen): * 2 cups all-purpose flour * 1/4 cup white sugar * 1/4 cup brown sugar (plus some extra for topping) * 3 teaspoons baking powder * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 3/4 cup milk * 1 tsp. vanilla * 1/3 cup applesauce * 1 egg * 2 tablespoons any flavor fruit jam I also put the jam in the middle (as some suggested) and it was delicious. I think the best way to do it is to mix it in a tiny bit (marble it) with a fork. That way it doesn't bubble up as much. Before baking, I also sprinkled a teaspoon or so of brown sugar on the tops. Just plain brown sugar. It hardened and blended in during the baking, BUT it tastes delicious. Gives it an extra kick with a little crunch and some sweetness, to balance the batter (since the jam resided mostly in the bottom on mine). These were very easy to make, and I had all the ingredients in the house, which makes it better. A little bit of jam bubbled up on the outside of my pan, but I just rinsed it under hot water, and scrubbed it right after I took the muffins out. It took maybe three minutes to clean, and wasn't that hard. Overall, this recipe is a solid 4. Tasty, but not amazingly outstanding. But I will probably make it again- it's easy and the men of the house seem to like it. =) Thanks for sharing!

These were easy to make and really yummy. My girls (4 and 2) loved these as well. The pan was a bit hard to clean up, but it was a great treat.

Excellent! Didn't modify these at all and loved them. A great way to use precious home-made jams so that they're really appreciated. I agree with a previous reviewer that they're a bit scone-like, only with the jam built in.

I am usually a cuppycake maker but muffins seemed good tonight! I used Smuckers Sugar-free Blueberry preserves for the jam. I also added about 1/4 cinnamon and 1/4 c vanilla to the mix. However, I calculated the recipe for 36 servings. The dough is thick and burnt out my little electric mixer motor (oops) but they smell wonderful and look like they'll be done baking after 12 minutes at 375. The batter tastes great with some additional ingredients. Thanks for this recipe! Super fast and easy!

These are a very good breakfast treat. It tastes much better if you fill half the batter in the muffin tins, place the jelly in the middle, and fill will the rest of the batter so the jelly doesn't get hard and burnt. I also added some vanilla for a little p'zaz!

These muffins were lacking some serious flavor and the jam more acted like a glazed on the top rather than a filling. They were okay, but I probably won't try them again.

Good, but the muffin itself needs a bit more flavor. We added 1/2 tsp vanilla, (next time we might add 1 tsp). We also increased sugar to 2/3 cup (next time we might try part brown sugar.)

I thought that adding the jam to the muffins was a great idea. I used apricot jam and added a tiny amount of almond flavoring to the batter. I tested the muffins at 16 minutes and they were already overbaked! So as a result, they were dry, but the taste was very good. I'm going to try them again, but either cut the oven temp down some or be more careful with my timing.

I really liked these. Not too sweet, great texture -- tasted like scones but a lot easier. I tried a few different jams in the first batch -- strawberry,orange marmalade,and a vanilla/lemon marmalade. The vanilla/lemon were the best.

I actually really loved these muffins, but I think they were made better with a few changes. I added 1 tsp Vanilla and the Zest from one lemon- this really made for a great flavor! Also, I topped 6 of 12 with turbinado sugar. I stuffed the jam deep inside the batter, and topped with a bit more batter before baking. SO good!

I made a few changes for a healthier muffin, used splenda instead of sugar, subbed 1 cup of whole wheat flour for 1 cup of all purpose white flour, squeezed in juice from 1 orange, added 1/2 a tsp of almond extract for flavor and added a few cut up strawberries to the batter. Tasted great, easy to make.

A wonderful recipes but I did tweak it a bit...I added about a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to batter. I also used a raspberry jam and put a blackberry in the center of muffin before sealing it in with more batter then added a cinnamon streusel topping. Delicious!!

These muffins were amazing!!! I added a little bit more sugar(around 1/4 cup) I found a lot of people were saying these were bland and dry, but I didn't have that problem at all. They were cooked perfectly by 15 min and they weren't golden once cooked. It's a must try!

Every Sunday, I make muffins and bring them to church for the missionaries. I made these this morning, and they were so good, I wanted to keep them for myself! I had read other reviews where the jam burned. I didn't want this to happen, so I put a batter in each cup, put the jam on top and then placed the rest of the batter on top of the jam. I then took a spatula and spread the batter so that I couldn't see any jam. Some of the jam did bubble up out of the batter, but it didn't burn. It left kind of sugary crust where it had bubbled up. The muffin batter itself is a good base and I'm excited about what I can do next Sunday with it.

These muffins were delicious and moist. If I hadn't have followed another users advice and not added axtra jam to the mixture they would have been bland. They weren't the best muffins, but still delicious! They went down well with everyone!

Even after adding an additional 1/4 cup sugar as another reviewer suggested and 1/4 cup cocoa powder these muffins were still fairly bland.

I really enjoyed these muffins, I made them with strawberry jam and because I had no muffin cases at the time I put the mixture in a deep heart-shaped tray which made several large muffins. I especially liked the way they were crispy on the outside and nice and spongy and sweet on the inside. I only had to open my cupboards and I immediatly had all the ingredients and the instructions were easy to follow. Next time I will perhaps add glazed cherries or chocolate chips to the mixture to liven up the middle of the muffins.
