Jam and Cream Muffins

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.

My youngest daughter made a batch of these delicious Jam and Cream Muffins for the kid’s school lunchboxes about four years ago, and we’ve been making them ever since! She adapted a nut muffin recipe to create this nut-free recipe instead – with the tasty addition of jam! These muffins taste just like a jam and cream scone – they are so yummy!

The first time I tried this muffin (four years ago!) was when my daughter placed one next to my computer so I could have it with my morning coffee. I took a bite and it was so good that I knew I would have to share it with you all one day. 

I love to bake up school lunch box goodies that can be frozen (like these muffins!). It makes school mornings much less stressful because the snacks are there ready to be popped straight into the school lunchboxes.
