Moist & Sweet! Strawberry Jam White Chocolate Muffins
Easy Strawberry Jam White Chocolate Muffin Recipe | Perfect for Beginners!
Instead of fresh strawberries, we’re using delicious strawberry jam for extra flavor and a wonderfully moist white chocolate muffin! These are perfect as a snack for kids or a delightful treat with your afternoon tea.
Muffin Batter Ingredients- Cake flour 123g
- Strawberry jam 125g
- Granulated sugar 35g
- Melted unsalted butter 15g
- White chocolate 43g
- Milk 40g
- Baking powder 2g
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack one large egg into a bowl and lightly whisk it. Then, add the granulated sugar and mix until the sugar dissolves. Whisking gently with a balloon whisk will yield a smoother batter.
Step 2
Pour in the milk and whisk again until it’s evenly combined with the egg and sugar mixture. This step ensures all liquid ingredients are smoothly incorporated.
Step 3
Finely chop the white chocolate. Melt it either by double-boiling (bain-marie) or in the microwave in short intervals (e.g., 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between). Add the melted white chocolate to the batter and quickly mix until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain. It’s important to mix while the chocolate is still warm.
Step 4
Add the melted unsalted butter to the batter and mix gently until smoothly combined, again making sure there are no lumps. The butter will enhance the muffin’s flavor and moisture.
Step 5
Sift the cake flour and baking powder over the batter. Once added, switch from a whisk to a spatula and use a cutting motion to mix. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until no dry flour streaks are visible. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins, so be gentle!
Step 6
Now it’s time to add the sweet strawberry jam! Add the strawberry jam to the batter and mix gently with your spatula just two or three times. Don’t aim for a perfectly uniform mix; having some pockets of jam throughout the batter will result in delightful bursts of flavor when baked.
Step 7
Spoon the prepared muffin batter into lined muffin cups, filling them about 80-90% full. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for approximately 25-30 minutes. You can check for doneness by inserting a skewer into the center; if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
Step 8
Once removed from the oven, let the muffins cool in their cups for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. While delicious warm, they develop a better texture and flavor as they cool down.
Step 9
Finally, decorate your muffins as you like! Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with melted white chocolate, or serve with whipped cream. You’ve now created your own unique strawberry jam white chocolate muffins! Enjoy your delicious creations! ^^
