  4. Mix dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  5. Mix wet ingredients in a medium bowl or large, spouted measuring cup.
  6. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix gently until just combined.
  7. Fill muffin cups halfway with batter.
  8. Add one teaspoon of jam to each muffin cup.
  9. Fill muffin cups with remaining batter.
  10. Top each with one more teaspoon of jam and swirl jam from top to bottom and side to side using a chopstick or skewer.
  11. Bake muffins in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until puffed, golden, and set.
  12. Remove muffins from oven and let cool slightly before transferring to a parchment-lined surface.
