   Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop, fill muffin cups 2/3 full. If making jam muffins, add 1 teaspoon of jam to each muffin and lightly press into the center of each muffin cup.

   Notes from the book: Arlene notes that you can refrigerate the mixed batter in a container for up to one week if you need to make these very well in advance. Additionally, the recipe for this muffin is easily adapted for many other variations such as blueberry, banana, cinnamon-sugar, or any other variation you can think of!
