After a super quick muffin recipe that requires little effort and clean up? These Jam and Nut Muffins are deliciously dense, complimented by the crunch of the nuts and a sweet jam filling. These are so easy to make that you don’t even need to use an electric mixer, you can make these simply with a bowl and spoon.
I have added nuts to this recipe, however you can eliminate them if you’re making them for your child’s lunchbox if you have a nut free school policy. These are perfect for work lunches or to treat your guests with an accompanying cup of coffee!
I like to use muffin cases with this Jam and Nut muffin recipe, as the jam can ooze out the side and cleaning up hot baked on jam can be a horrid task. If you do find it does get onto your muffin tin, soak the tin in hot soapy water to make it easier to clean off.
