- Add 1 teaspoon of Friends Drift Inn Bourbon Cardamom Blueberry Jam to center of each muffin.
- Cover each muffin with 2 tablespoons of additional batter.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar over the top of each muffin.
- Bake about 30 minutes, rotating tin halfway through the cycle. Muffins will be brown on the top, and a toothpick inserted should come out clean…. if you do not hit the jam pool. Giggles
- Let muffins cool in tin about 5 minutes. Use a butter knife to loosen any stuck muffins.
- Cool on a baking rack. Once cooled, store covered in the refrigerator.
Serving Suggestions
Pile them high and watch them fly! Blueberry muffins are easy to stack and make a grand presentation.
Serve them alongside fresh honeydew and peaches with a little lemon zest.
Oatmeal with a little blueberry jam stirred in, and a hot cup of ginger tea served with a muffin on the side is a great way to start your weekend.
Notes
Buy buttermilk. Keep it in your refrigerator and bake with it often. Buttermilk helps quick breads brown and gives a great lift when used with baking powder and baking soda.
You could always substitute vanilla for bourbon, but with vanilla prices what they are go on and use the bourbon! You can sip a little too!
Gentle reminder, this recipe was formulated to compliment Friends Drift Inn Blueberry Cardamom Jam’s flavor profiles. We cannot predict how other jams will perform.
