• Make a "well" in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients to the well.

• Fill the muffin tins half full.
• Now, here is the surprise - drop a teaspoon of jelly into the center of each muffin.
• Add more batter on top of the jelly so that each cup is 2/3 full.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
• When the muffins are baked there will be a jelly surprise in the middle.
