Description

These Marmalade Muffins are a delightful breakfast treat that combines the wholesome heartiness of oatmeal with the bright, citrusy punch of orange marmalade. The batter is moist and tender, enriched with buttermilk and melted butter, creating a perfect texture that holds up well to the jam filling. As they bake, the marmalade creates a warm, sweet center that bursts with flavor in every bite. They are an excellent choice for a quick weekend brunch or a comforting snack. Simple ingredients come together easily, making this a reliable recipe for bakers of all skill levels. Serve them warm for the best experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the oatmeal and buttermilk. If using almonds, stir them in now. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes to soften the oats.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir until just combined.
  5. Pour the oatmeal-buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Stir gently until just moistened; do not overmix.
  6. Spoon a small amount of batter into each muffin cup, filling about one-third full.
  7. Place about 1 teaspoon of marmalade or jam in the center of each muffin cup.
  8. Spoon the remaining batter over the jam to cover it, filling the cups about three-quarters full.
  9. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
