In a large mixing bowl, combine the beaten egg, vegetable oil, raw honey, and water. Whisk until smooth.

Add the Whole Grain Bran Muffin Mix to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Spoon the batter evenly into 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
-
Place 1 teaspoon of apple butter or jam into the center of each muffin batter, pressing it down slightly so it is submerged.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the outer edge of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Note
Storage: Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Variations: Try using different jams such as raspberry, blueberry, or apricot for a different flavor profile. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter for extra warmth.
Tips: For a vegan version, ensure you use an egg replacer and check that your honey substitute is plant-based if strictly vegan. Raw honey adds a distinct floral note; if unavailable, regular honey works fine.
Safety: Be careful when adding the jam to the hot batter or removing hot muffins from the oven. Let them cool slightly before eating to avoid burns from the hot jam center.
