SURPRISE MUFFINS

I got this recipe from my 14-year-old granddaughter who loves to cook but especially bake. She bakes desserts for the homeless in Ft Worth one Saturday a month. Today this is what she is baking, 250 of them!

1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
12 tsp jelly (your favorite choice)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or grease bottom and sides; set aside.

In a medium bowl, beat the egg slightly. Stir in the milk and oil until blended.

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; stir into the egg mixture. This will not be a smooth batter!

Place a full tablespoon of batter in the bottom of each muffin cup. Add approximately 1 teaspoon of jelly in the center of the batter. Top jelly with a small amount of the batter.

Bake at 350-375 for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven and remove from pan in about 2 minutes. Place on wire racks to cool completely.

Yield: 12 muffins

These were made with grape jelly.
