Fruit Filled Muffins Light Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease bottoms only of 12 regular-size muffin cups with shortening or cooking spray, or line with paper baking cups.

Steps:

• Coat twelve muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper bake cups; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together buttermilk, egg and oil. Add buttermilk mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).
• Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about one-fourth full. Place 1 teaspoon of the spreadable fruit in center of each. Add remaining batter.
• Bake in 400F oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, lightly beat eggs; add milk, butter and lemon zest. Pour into dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Spoon half of the batter into 12 greased or paper-lined muffin cups. Make a well in the center of each; add jam. Spoon remaining batter over jam. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease (or spray with non-stick cooking spray) one 12-muffin muffin/cupcake pan.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large bowl, with a fork, beat the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla until blended. (careful to add milk and butter before egg so you don't cook the egg.).
• Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture; stir just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy.).
• Fill the muffin-tin cups 1/3 full. Drop 1 rounded teaspoon preserves in the center of each cup batter. Top with the remaining batter.
• Bake 20-25 minutes. immediately remove from the pan to a cooling rack. Serve warm. Makes 12 muffins.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave or over very gentle heat. Using a pastry brush, butter the cups of a standard-size (3 1/2-ounce-capacity) 12-cup muffin tin. Let each coat of butter cool, then apply another coat; continue until the 2 tablespoons are all used.
• In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Meanwhile, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter, add to dry ingredients and mix with a fork until just combined.
• In another bowl, whisk together egg, milk and cream. Add to dry ingredients and mix to combine (the dough will be quite sticky).
• Reserving about a quarter of the dough for topping, scoop 2 tablespoons dough into each cup. Using the back of a spoon, press dough gently down into the cups. The dough will move up the sides, and there should be a shallow well in each dough cup. Don't worry if the dough doesn't come all the way up to the top; there should be about 1/2 inch of space between the top of the dough and the rim of the cup.
• Spoon about 1 tablespoon jam into each well. Using your fingers, pinch remaining dough into small clumps and scatter evenly over the jam in each cup, making a bumpy topping. Sprinkle sugar over the tops.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until browned. Let cool in the pan on a rack; run a blade around the sides of each scuffin before turning out.
