Fruit Filled Scuffins Recipes

FRUIT EXPLOSION MUFFINS (TIM HORTON'S COPYCAT)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line 3 muffin pans with paper liners or use non-stick pans and grease lightly. You can also use silicone pans, though they will not brown as usual.
• In a large bowl, combine sour cream, oil, applesauce, eggs and vanilla with a whisk. Stir in sugars until combined completely.
• Add flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and stir just until combined. Fold in berries.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter into the bottom of each liner, spreading it cover the bottom completely. Top with 2 teaspoons of jam and cover with remaining batter (about one heaping tablespoon per muffin cup), covering the jam as best as you can.
• Bake for 23-25 minutes (I bake mine exactly 25 minutes), until golden brown, toothpick comes out clean and batter around berries appears set. Cool to room temperature and serve.
• May be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days or frozen for 3-4 months.

FRUIT-FILLED MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease bottoms only of 12 regular-size muffin cups with shortening or cooking spray, or line with paper baking cups.
• In medium bowl, stir milk, oil and egg until blended. Stir in Bisquick mix and granulated sugar just until moistened. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Drop 1 level teaspoon fruit preserves onto center of batter in each cup.
• Bake 13 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly; remove from pan. In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and water until smooth; drizzle over warm muffins.

FRUIT-FILLED SCUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave or over very gentle heat. Using a pastry brush, butter the cups of a standard-size (3 1/2-ounce-capacity) 12-cup muffin tin. Let each coat of butter cool, then apply another coat; continue until the 2 tablespoons are all used.
• In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Meanwhile, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter, add to dry ingredients and mix with a fork until just combined.
• In another bowl, whisk together egg, milk and cream. Add to dry ingredients and mix to combine (the dough will be quite sticky).
• Reserving about a quarter of the dough for topping, scoop 2 tablespoons dough into each cup. Using the back of a spoon, press dough gently down into the cups. The dough will move up the sides, and there should be a shallow well in each dough cup. Don't worry if the dough doesn't come all the way up to the top; there should be about 1/2 inch of space between the top of the dough and the rim of the cup.
• Spoon about 1 tablespoon jam into each well. Using your fingers, pinch remaining dough into small clumps and scatter evenly over the jam in each cup, making a bumpy topping. Sprinkle sugar over the tops.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until browned. Let cool in the pan on a rack; run a blade around the sides of each scuffin before turning out.
