Baked Doughnut muffins with Blueberry Jam

Soft and fluffy doughnut muffins filled with blueberry jam is a great recipe to impress your guests for tea time and make great lunchbox fillers.

The first time I saw these doughnut muffins in one of my favourite food magazines, BBC Good Food, my heart literally skipped a beat. I was absolutely in love and I knew I would just have to make them for my family (but mostly for me)!

Their original recipe calls for Raspberry preserves which I didn’t have so I used my current ‘preserve obsession’ which is Bonne Maman’s Blueberry preserves. I love how deep and deliciously dark this jam is while the flavour is pleasantly sweet and very blueberry, just what you want right?

MY LATEST VIDEOS

These muffins were incredibly delicious and I didn’t have to offer them twice. Within a few minutes they were all gone and I was asked immediately when I would be baking them again. With the recipe being so simple, I could honestly say within the next few days, in fact, it was the very next day. I would suggest you double this recipe as these have serious crowd-appeal and they never stick around for long. They also last for about 4 days in a sealed container (which is not that great as they make a very tempting breakfast with strong coffee).
