Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Prepare your filling. Depending on the muffins you're making, this could involve cutting sausage into bite-size pieces, blending cream cheese with snipped chives or simply opening a jar of raspberry jam.
2

Mix your dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir together wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
3

Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour the wet mixture into the dry, stirring until the batter is well-combined.
4

Grease your muffin tin.
5

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or the time specified on your standard muffin recipe.
6

Fill each of the muffin cavities 1/3 to 1/2 full of batter.
7

Set a spoonful or piece of your filling at the center of the batter. Make sure less solid items like cream cheese or jam are ball-shaped rather than spread over the entire surface of the wet batter.
8

Pour the rest of the batter into the muffin tin, until each cavity is filled about two-thirds or slightly above.
9

Bake for about 20 minutes before inserting a toothpick into the center of the muffin. If it comes out clean, remove the muffin tin from the oven.
10

Remove the muffins from the tin and let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
