Mixed Berry Jam & Coconut Muffins

Makes: 12
Prep time: 15 mins (+ 15 mins cooking time)

You'll Need:

  • 1 1/4 cups self-raising flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup mixed berry jam, plus 1/4 cup extra
  • Shredded coconut to decorate

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 160C. Grease and line a 12 hole muffin pan. Add dry ingredients to a large bowl and combine.
  2. In a separate jug add milk, eggs and oil and beat with a fork until well combined. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and stir with a fork until just combined. 
  3. Stir through 1/2 cup mixed berry jam gently. Spoon mixture into muffin pans. Use remaining 1/4 cup jam and add a dollop to each muffin. Sprinkle with extra coconut.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until just done. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Be extremely careful as the jam will be very HOT! 

Notes:

  • My kids love these in their lunch boxes, but they are also lovely for morning tea with a coffee!
  • You can swap out the jam for any other jam you have available.
  • Be extremely cautious with the hot muffins as jam can cause serious burns.
