100% would make again

Meet the Cook: All five of our children are grown...in fact, we now have five grandchildren. But, back when they were youngsters, they loved these as after-school treats and as part of Sunday brunch. The house my husband and I live in is unusual - a little old country schoolhouse built in the 1800's! We are just about done remodeling it and ready to get started with adding a greenhouse. -Sharon Pullen, Alvinston, Ontario

Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1/3 cup canola oil

  • TOPPING:
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup sugar

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. In a small bowl, combine sugar, oil, egg and milk; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
  • Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups half full; place 1 teaspoon jam on top. Cover jam with enough batter to fill muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

I have made a recipe like this for years. I do not add jam to mine and also use less of the topping ingredients.
