I am not a huge fan of chocolate and chocolate based bakes. I mean I can still eat it in small portions but I am not crazy about it. I would choose a strawberry Charlotte over a chocolate mud cake anytime.I would choose fruit tarts over chocolate tarts. And yes, I would definitely go with strawberry or vanilla ice cream instead of chocolate ice cream. In other word, i would choose to swim in a pool of strawberry sauce instead of a pool of chocolate. I guess you got my point. Enough said.

About 365 days ago or was it 653 days ago, I was watching an episode of Sugar and Anna Olson made some gorgeous donut muffins with jam centers. It immediately went into my list of  bakes to try. A list that is made up of a million other bakes. Can i get an entry in the Guinness world record already? 
So yah, last week, while browsing around the net, I was reminded of these jam muffins and I just had to try. Like finally.

These Donut muffins with raspberry jam filling  are lovely! I believe the presence of yogurt is what made the muffins so soft n fluffy. I used Marks & Spencer Raspberry Jam. You know the kind with all the seeds and chunky bits? Loved it!!  You can really use any fruit preserves/jam you prefer. Blueberries, strawberries, cherries…any good quality jam would work. This recipe yields only 8 muffins. You might want to double the recipe as these muffins still taste great after a few days! 

For someone that isn’t into cakes much, had 2 of these easily…or rather, TOO easily. I kept 2 muffins for mom and packed the rest for my niece. Yup, damage control right there.
