These Jam and Cream Muffins are a quick, easy and tasty muffin that’s perfect for freezing and popping straight into the kid’s school lunch boxes.
These delicious Jam and Cream Muffins are great for a treat with an afternoon cuppa or kid’s school lunchboxes. These muffins taste just like a jam and cream scone – they are so yummy!
I used to love to bake school lunch box goodies that can be frozen (like these muffins). It made school mornings much less stressful because the snacks are available, ready to be popped straight into the school lunchboxes.

I’m saving these jam muffins for later, hubby loves any baking with jam in them, these are perfect!
Lovely recipes
Made these for my children’s school lunch boxes. Super easy and delish hot or cold. Thank you
SR flour is not easy to find in Canada. Could you use plain flour and add baking sofa? Looks delicious.
Hi Janette, Yes for every 1 cup of self raising flour you can replace with 1 cup of plain flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
I made these today and they were delicious. I had a tea party with Master 3 and my husband. I also put a few aside in the freezer for daycare.
Oh I love that you had a tea party with these muffins! Thank you for sharing 🙂 Kat x
