Show Notes:
"Surprise muffins recipe"
2 cups flour
1⁄4 cup sugar (omit this ingredient for savory muffins)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, slightly beaten with a fork
1 cup milk
1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (omit this ingredient for savory muffins)
1⁄4 cup fruit only jelly, or muffin filling of your choice.
Directions
Grease the bottom ONLY of a 12-cup muffin tin.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In a second medium sized bowl, combine the egg, milk, vanilla and vegetable oil.
Make a "well" in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients to the well.
Stir until the mixture is moist.
Don't over mix - the batter should be lumpy.
Fill the muffin tins half full.
Now, here is the surprise - drop a teaspoon of jelly into the center of each muffin. *You can also substitute jelly for a variety of fillings. Boiled egg, cheese, bacon. Make your own breakfast muffin and skip the drive through! It is much less pricy, and more nutritious!
Add more batter on top of the jelly so that each cup is 2/3 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
When the muffins are baked there will be a jelly surprise in the middle.
Yield 12 muffins
