Olallieberry Jam Muffins

September 30th, 2011 by justJENN

Once a month I drive O.G. and her friends around town to eat, shop and cause general old people mayhem. As their designated driver I am often thanked with homemade goods, this go ’round I got a jar of freshly made ‘Olallieberry Jam’.

I’d never heard of olallieberries before, turns out they are a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry. I think that hybrid made it a bit too seedy for my taste, but it was still delicious.

I made muffins with the fresh jam and if you don’t have access to Olallieberry, any jam will do!

ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup oil
2/3 cup jam

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and prep a muffin tin with liners.

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.

In a medium bowl mix the egg, vanilla, lemon juice, milk and oil.

Add the wet to the dry ingredients until just combined – don’t over work it.

Swirl in the jam.

Spoon the batter into the prepped liners and bake for 18-20 minutes until done, depending on your oven. Let cool on a wire rack.
