Check out the recipe here: Sweet Cornmeal Surprise Muffins
My notes: I love how you soak the cornmeal while you are prepping the rest of the ingredients. It softens it up and takes away from the grittiness that corn muffins can sometimes have. You don't soak it so long that you lose the lovely crunch that a corn muffin has. I used Smuckers Double Fruit Strawberry Jam for the filling, but I am sure anything you have in your pantry would work well since the flavour of the muffin is so mild. I might add a dash of cinnamon next time I make them. I think cinnamon adds a nice flavour to almost any baked dish. I also think lining your muffin tin with cupcake liners instead of just spraying with nonstick spray is a must since you run the risk of jam leakage and sticking with this sort of baked good.
I must make small muffins since I got 15 instead of the 12 the recipe specified.
The Verdict: The muffin is moist, with a bit of crunch and the jam is a nice addition. You definitely don't need butter with these. Charlotte and Matthew gobbled theirs up.
