I started doing bake along challenges with Danielle over at Hugs and Kisses XOXO around Thanksgiving.  
It was awesome, because everything she chose got me a little closer to having my cookie trays full for the holidays, and I was able to try some new things and then SHARE them with ALL of you!
 
My husband and I have decided to take off some of this holiday weight, and when they bake along came through I thought “should I subject myself to this yumminess?”  
 
But, alas,  I did!!

I have to admit, I only had about a 1/4 of one. 
 I can’t share something with you that I haven’t tasted can I??
 
They are yummy!!
 
My kids enjoyed them immensely, they are tired of salad and chicken (even after one week!!)
 
 
prettiness!
 
 
 
My Notes:
I shared the recipe as the bake along stated it.  I made according to the blog, and let me tell you, my kids wouldn’t keep their mitts out of the BATTER!
 It is delicious!!
 
ready for the oven
 
I filled them full in hopes they would “cap” like my regular muffin recipe that I use.  
This recipe made one dozen muffins.
 
Here is where I ran into problems, so when you try them (and you should!)  
Make SURE that the jam is really down inside of the muffin batter.  
I suggest putting some batter in the cup, then jam then batter then swirl.
The problem that I had was, as you know, jam will bubble when it gets hot, and it did. 
It didn’t make a big ‘ol mess in my oven,
 but it did adhere the little beauties to my muffin pan pretty darn good!!
 
I was afraid they would taste scorched, and they didn’t thank heaven!!
 
I removed the liners and they were yummy.
 
Instead of the powdered sugar dusting that Danielle suggested, I drizzled mine with a little vanilla glaze!
 
I love, love, love raspberries, and I think next time I will use frozen ones, an”poke” them into the muffin so I can get them WHOLE! 
 
 
All in all this was a great “diet slip” of a recipe! 
 
 
Thank you for visiting!!
 
 
Hugs,

  1. This is a great way to jazz up a chocolate chip muffin. I never knew you could put jam in batter like that. My husband is going to love these.
