Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Butter room temperature
  • 1 cup Vegetable oil
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Light brown sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 0.5 to 1 Ground nutmeg to taste (I used ½)
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 0.5 cup Jam or jelly your choice

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Muffin tin
  • Muffin Liners
  • Measuring cups
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with muffin liners or grease it with non-stick spray.
  2. Cream together the room temperature butter and vegetable oil until smooth. Mix in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Spoon a small amount of the batter into each muffin cup, add a teaspoon of your favorite jam or jelly in the center, and top with more batter until the cups are about ¾ full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • For a twist, try using different flavors of jam or jelly.
  • Make sure to use room temperature butter for the best texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
