Valentine's Day Raspberry Muffins

Valentine's Day Raspberry Muffins | Plucky Gumption Copyright 2014

Add a pretty pink swirl to any muffin recipe with a large dollop of strawberry or raspberry preserves!

 

I used the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook Raspberry Breakfast Bun recipe, but you can easily adapt the idea to any basic muffin recipe. 

Step One: Make your muffin recipe and fill your muffin tins.

Step Two: Place a large dollop (1 tablespoon) of your favorite fruit preserve on top of the muffin batter. I used Bonne Maman Raspberry preserves. It is my absolute favorite. They also make delicious strawberry preserves and that jars are a great shape to clean and save for a later project.

Step Three: Swirl the preserves in with a clean knife or large toothpick.

Step Four: Bake as directed in the recipe.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
