Starting to get the hang of baking. This recipe was referred to as being super easy but honestly I beg to differ. This was actually one of the harder ones I’ve done simply because I had issues with putting the filling into the muffins. I ran out of batter too for the last row and overall the muffins didn’t look as pretty as previous recipes but in the end they still tasted good.

1/2 cup jam ( of your choice)
Preheat the oven to 400F
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In another bowl, lightly beat eggs, milk, butter and lemon rind.
Pour into the dry ingredients and the stir until moistened.
Spoon half batter, make a well, add jam, spoon the remaining batter and bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden.

Its so nice that you added a video. Your muffins look lovely. Grape jelly sounds delicious.
Thanks! Filming is my second love so I’m getting back into it & thought a cooking video was the easiest.
Loved the little video you have there :-) You made it seem super easy contrary to what you wrote in your post.
They looks lovely!!
Yup! Just like how they make it look easy on tv, that’s what I was going for :)
Filming is my second love behind writing so I thought what better way to get back into it than a simple cooking video? :)
I love grape jelly! Your muffins don’t look that bad, as long as they taste wicked, that’s alright! :D
Thanks so much! I just didn’t think they turned out as pretty but yes they tasted pretty good.
Nice video! Love the inclusion of grape jelly in yours. If I had had it on hand, I would have used some in mine. And your oven is gorgeous, BTW! :)
That’s a really cute video! The muffins are supposed to look rustic and imperfect, I mean, you should see how lumpy mine looked! LOL. The grape jelly filling seemed rather yummy too…
Thanks for the video love! I love filming & editing as much as writing! I think rustic is a good word. The grape jelly was really good too! Your end product looked very put together!
You’re kidding, right? Your muffins look great, Bianca. I love seeing the busting tops and jelly peeking out. You might want to invest on a spring-loaded ice cream scooper so that way your muffins will have the same amount of batter :) Oh, and I used grape jelly, too! Great video.
Ah, never thought of an ice cream scoop but you bring up a good point! Thanks for the kind words & video love too!
Wow – look at you getting all fancy with a video ;) Seems like p&j was a popular flavour combo this week! Your muffins look delicious.
Aw thank you! And yes it went well with a tall glass of milk.
Making the wells for the jam was tricky – I agree! LOVE the video and especially the music… perfect!
Thank you & yes the wells were tricky! Well at least it’s practice for the holidays!
Wow and I just bought two jars of grape jelly!! This is a sign from God. I obey.
Go for it! They’re very tasty.
Look at you rocking out gorgeous muffins! I like the flavor combo, sounds delicious! Hugs, Terra
Thanks! I didn’t think they looked pretty so I appreciate all the nice feedback. Thanks for letting me know about this, it’s been fun!
Love the little video! Such great looking muffins….so irresistable! Glad to bake along with you this week!
Thank you for the kind words! Nice to bake with you too :)
