How To Make anytime fruit muffins

  • 1
    While the oven is preheating to 375 degrees F, butter and sugar the muffin tin.
  • 2
    Whisk the first four ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.
  • 3
    Whisk oil, milk and egg together in a large measuring cup. Then add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Divide batter among 12 regular sized muffin cups.
  • 4
    Spoon one tablespoon of a good quality brand of fruit preserves like "Bonne Maman" in the center of each cup. Allow to lie on top of batter. My favorites are blueberry, strawberry, fig and blackberry.
  • 5
    Mix together the topping ingredients. (If it is too dry, add more oil one teaspoon at a time). Sprinkle topping in each cup to cover the preserves.
  • 6
    Bake for 20 minutes until the topping begins to brown. IMPORTANT: Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes in the muffin tin BEFORE trying to remove them. This will allow the muffins to keep their shape without falling apart.
