Mama’s Marvelous Muffins (watch out for the jelly surprise!)

I’m still iffy on the name.

perfect for the morning munchies

You will Need:
1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 c. sugar
1/3 c. vegetable oil
3/4 c. rice milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
and, of course, jelly.

topping:
cinnamon/sugar combo
melted margarine.

I like to begin by gathering my ingredients. Just in case I get halfway through and realize I don’t have salt, or something.

First: whisk your flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl.

In another (slightly smaller) bowl combine your egg, sugar, oil and rice milk.

stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until moistened.

Now, make sure your baking pan is plenty greased up, we don’t want these babies to get stuck.
Fill each cupcake hole about halfway full, then add a teaspoon of jam. Bury the jam leaving the cupcake tins about 3/4 full.

I like to watch mine bake. About 20 minutes at 325.

Also, in the meantime, melt your margarine and make a little cinnamon/sugar collage. Also, if you’re “that” kind of cook, I use this time to do the dishes as well…Nothing like fresh baked goods in a nice clean kitchen, am I right?

Immediately after removing the muffins from the oven (carefully) dip the tops in your margarine, then cinnamon sugar mixture.

serve warm, or at room temperature.

Then take a nap if you want. Dishes are done, after all.
