8. Fill each muffin cup halfway with the batter.
9. Make a small well in the center of each muffin and fill it with a spoonful of jam or preserves, creating a “surprise” center.
10. Top each muffin with the remaining batter, covering the jam filling completely.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
12. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
