These Fruit Explosion Muffins are packed with berries and have a strawberry surprise in the center! They are just as good as your bakery favorite but made completely from scratch.
Happy New Year friends! Ashley here again with your new favorite muffin recipe 🙂 This has been one of my “bucket list” baking items for some time now. One of my favorite muffins has always been the jam-filled muffins from the bakery — that little pop of flavor in the center is so good!
The recipe is adapted from Taste of Home’s Berry Cream Muffins in one of my baking cookbooks, but I made a few swaps to make them even better than the original. I had a bunch of sour cream left over from another recipe, so I used that to make these super moist and give a pop of tangy flavor, but you can use 0% Greek yogurt for a lighter option with an extra boost of protein (perfect for keeping you away from those leftover holiday cookies stashed in your freezer!).
I also add another cup full of berries, and I’m glad I did. Between the extra berries and the jam-filled center, they’re bursting with berries! Feel free to use your favorite berries and your favorite jam or preserves — just make sure your jam is quite thick as you want it to stay put in the center of the muffin when you’re filling your liners.
What kind of berries and jam would you use? For me — strawberries, blueberries and strawberry jam. Yum! All nutritional information is based on third party calculations and is only an estimate. Each recipe and nutritional value will vary depending on the brands you use, measuring methods and portion sizes per household. More muffin recipes you might enjoy!
