Muffins are a family favorite in our home. As a mom, I love them because they are super simple to whip up, and any leftovers keep well for the next couple of days. I will warn you though, once your family tries these delicious treats, there won’t be many muffins leftover to enjoy later on. If you are looking for extras, you could easily double or triple the recipe for a larger crowd.
We have tired all kinds of different flavors of jam in this recipe and while we have yet to find one we absolutely don’t like, our homemade strawberry freezer jam has made the top of the list! Let me know what flavors you try and most importantly, which of those are your favorite.
