Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease 12 cavities of a standard muffin pan.

Step 2

Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the mixture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the milk, oil, egg, and vanilla.

Step 5

Add to the flour mixture, and stir just until combined.

Step 6

Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter, leaving about 6 tablespoons of batter in the bowl.

Step 7

Place about 1 teaspoon of jam in the center of each filled muffin cup.

Step 8

Top with just enough of the reserved batter to almost cover the jam.

Step 9

Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are browned and the muffins are set. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 10

Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

Step 11

Brush the melted butter over the tops of each muffin. Dip each muffin, top-side down. into the cinnamon-sugar to coat.

Step 12

If you prefer, you can brush butter completely over the muffins and then roll in cinnamon-sugar. Just double the amount of butter and cinnamon-sugar so you'll have enough.
