Strawberry Muffins

“'THESE LUSCIOUS oven treats are sweet and flavorful because they are made with lots of strawberry jam. They have a feathery texture despite all the jam, and are very good when served either hot or cold. My 8-year-old brother was especially fond of these muffins, and often, when we said goodbye, Aunt Edith would thoughtfully present him with a brown bag containing any that were left over from that morning's bountiful breakfast.'”

I followed the recipe, but added a full cup of strawberry jam plus two mashed bananas - ended up much fruitier and moist. Loved them.

I have tried these 3 times perfect each time! I used Raspberry jam and chocolate chips once. Just made with Blueberry. So good. I think these DO need to be made with a good jam. My boyfriend has taken these to work and they are gone as soon as he walks in door!

Waaaay too much nutmeg. I gave it two stars for how easy they were to make and for the concept. However, I tasted more of the nutmeg than any of the other flavors. I'm going to take the advice of others and decrease the nutmeg.

Fantastic!!! I added a cup of homemade preserves in place of the 1/2 cup jam and they are wonderful.

These were actually a lot better than i expected, and better than some of the other strawberry muffin recipes I've tried. I added some fresh chopped strawberry to the mix (and wished I added some cornstarch to help with the rise and the juice, mine didn't rise well).

Strawberry Muffins' Haiku: "Eek, too much nutmeg. Not enough strawberry jam. But they were alright." I wasn't blown away by these muffins; I followed the recipe exactly, w/ the exception of decreasing the nutmeg a bit, but it was still too strong. I thought that they might taste good w/ a smear of peanut butter, but turns out, they taste best w/, surprise, a glob of strawberry jelly.

I rarely comment on a recipe but last night around 2 am my husband was having a munchy for something sweet and I came across this recipe and loved the fact that it was all things that I happened to have on hand except for the buttermilk that I subbed with regular 2% milk, and I used strawberry preserves in place of jam, I also added a spoonful of fresh chopped strawberries that had been sprinkled with a little sugar when the muffins were 15 minutes in, but omg they were delicious!!! WBMA Will Be Making Again. Loved the texture, will be omitting nutmug next time though, just a bit much I think.

I liked these, but I was hoping for a strawberry muffin, and these don't taste like strawberry at all. I am not a big fan of nutmeg, so next time I will triple the jam or add chopped strawberries and leave out the nutmeg. The only change I made was using milk instead of buttermilk. The texture of these was very nice.

I made these on a whim one Saturday morning and my husband loved them! He took them to a friend's house, and they enjoyed them too, and he just texted me to ask me if I could make some more. The only adjustments I made were I added chopped fresh strawberries, and sprinkled sugar on top.

I listened to the other reviewers and also cut the nutmeg in half. I liked the muffins, and they went over well with the crowd, but they were definitely not very strawberry-y. I plan on making them again, but this time adding more strawberry jam, and maybe even a couple of fresh, chopped strawberries.
