Muffins~ Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins!! (And they have a surprise inside.)

Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins have been around for a long, long time.

But this version, adapted from "Taste of Home" is a little different . . .

. . .  a fruit jam filling.  Really easy to make, too.

Just mix up the simple batter, half fill the cupcake tins with batter, drop a teaspoon or so of your favorite jam in each one (I chose my sister's delicious homemade Strawberry jam this time.) Then top with little more batter over the jam and bake. 

The batter is heavily scented with freshly grated nutmeg and a bit of cinnamon ~ the kitchen is filled with a  heavenly aroma as they bake.

After they have baked dip the tops in melted butter, then in cinnamon sugar.

Irresistible? 

You bet. 

 In fact, the photographer became overwhelmed, and ate half of the subject during the close-up shot.
