Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Lightly grease a 12-hole muffin tin (or use a silicone one). Put 140g sugar, flour and bicarb in a bowl and mix to combine. In a jug, whisk together the yogurt, eggs and vanilla. Tip the jug contents and melted butter into the dry ingredients and quickly fold with a metal spoon to combine.
  2. Divide two-thirds of the mixture between the muffin holes. Carefully add 1 tsp jam into the centre of each, then cover with the remaining mixture. Bake for 16-18 mins until risen, golden and springy to touch.
  3. Leave the muffins to cool for 5 mins before lifting out of the tin and rolling in the extra sugar.

    Loved these. Going to try filling them with nutella and rolling in caster sugar with some ground cinnamon. Agree that the amount of sugar to roll them in is a bit much.

    Me again but I can't get over how easy and deeeeeeeeeelicious these are. My 10 yr old had a group of friends round today so I made half with jam and half with Nutella. They went down an absolute treat with everyone.

    Made one half with jam as stated in the recipe. Made other half with 90g of plain flour and 20g of cocoa powder, then added nutella instead of jam. Resulting in mini double choc muffiny doughnuts! yummy!!

    Yummy, although the name is slightly misleading, it's only like a doughnut if you really really think about it, I treated it like a normal muffin and didn't roll in sugar. I've made filled muffins before and the trick to prevent jam/lemon curd sinking is to only add lots of mixture at the bottom, at least 2/3, then a tsp of filling and top with another 1/3 because I know the filling will definitely sink.

    Good! I was dubious especially as I didn't have any bicarb so risked a replacement with 2tsp baking powder. Worked out fine and they were surprisingly doughnut-y. I agree they took a little longer in the oven than stated. Would make these again

    I'm going to have another go as the jam sunk to the bottom of mine. But the sponge did taste surprisingly like a doughnut. Very nice.

    Very nice indeed. I did however have the same problem as a few others, in that the jam sank to the bottom. I made 12 just like the recipe said and I definitely put at least 2/3 mixture in first?? Could it be the brand of jam? I used the tiptree seedless raspberry which is more like jelly in consistency (but heavier) then actual jam... P.s still polished them off in record breaking time ;)

    I used nutella instead of jam since my kids are big nutella fans. They really liked them

    These are so quick to put together and in my fan oven were cooked perfectly in 15 minutes. The best sponge recipe ever and lovely and light. Next time I will put custard in some of them!

    This is one o the best muffin recipes by far! My family and friends loved it. Followed the recipe to the letter, except I was a bit heavy handed with the Raspberry Jam...I will use much less next time Besides that....yummy.

    Absolutely superb muffins! Made them today and my family demolished them. I followed the recipe but made 9 muffins as I wanted to make sure my jam did not sink. So I put plenty of mixture in my cases before adding the jam. Will definitely make these again but as someone else commented will try putting custard in rather than jam. Sounds gorgeous!!

    These tasted really good but didn't look too great. I think the tin I used was too small and so they were overfilled and spilled over the top so I ended up with "muffin top"! The jam also fell out of the bottom but I managed to push it back in! All in all, a bit of a failure but they still got eaten up.

    If it helps, I actually weighed mine out, 20g of mix, just under a teaspoon of jam, then 17-20g of mix on top covering the jam. Didn't have any jam sinking or leaking but you could just see it through the top! You could do slightly more mix at the base....

    Made these today, wow they are soooo yummy! The outside is really crisp and the inside light and fluffy. They tasted so good I can forgive the fact that I only got 10 out of the mix and my jam went straight to the bottom. (inspite of only just covering the jam with mixture) I will definitely make these again and try lots of other fillings.
