Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour1/3 cup sugar1 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp baking soda1/4 tsp salt1 to 2 tsp cinnamon (to taste)1 egg1 cup skim milk3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce1 tsp vanilla extract10 -12 tsp of your favourite jam/preserves - depends on your muffin cups mine made 11.
Directions
Preheat oven to 400F. Grease muffin tin (if you use paper liners, spray them with cooking spray. With no oil or butter in the recipe, the paper will be glued to the muffin if you don't).

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a small bowl, beat together the egg, milk, applesauce, and vanilla. Add the wet mix to the dry, and gently mix together just until all the dry bits have been absorbed. Do NOT overmix. The batter should be lumpy, not smooth.

Fill the cups 1/3 full. Drop about 1 tsp of jam (I used raspberry) into the centre and cover with another layer of muffin mix. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Makes 10 (or 12 smaller muffins).

    I used one cup of regular flour and one cup of whole wheat flour, these were AWESOME!! My husband and baby girl LOVED them. This recipe is a keeper. I used raspberry jam, I'm going to try strawberry jam next. I also used whole milk because I did not have skim milk. - 8/28/10
