Every Sunday our Mum used to drag my sister and I to the local markets to buy fresh local apples and fabric to make our clothes. Our treat (if we behaved ourselves) was always a hot Cinnamon and Jam Doughnut – minus the jam for me! There was nothing like biting into a hot, sugary doughnut on a cold morning and it made having to wait in long lines worth it. I’ve spotted a few different Cinnamon and Jam Doughnut Muffin recipes doing the rounds and finally got around to making them myself.
I was certainly not disappointed, these jam filled, sugary muffins are as close as you can get to the real thing and it took all of my self control not to eat one as soon as they were out of the oven.
They are best enjoyed warm, but we took a couple with us on a picnic lunch the next day and they still tasted pretty good. I’m pretty confident they would also be freezer friendly – that is if there are any left!

Glad that I was not the only one who had hot donuts as treats when we were kids. I am not a jam in the middle person either yet my husband is. I bet he will love these.
Lauren
You could easily leave the jam out, maybe just add it to half the batch so you are both happy 🙂
Natalie
My grandma used to make homemade doughnuts for when we were little. They were so yummy. I haven’t had them in years, though. Your doughnut muffins look delicious!
Lauren
Homemade doughnuts would be the best, after making these they are next on my list 🙂

These look sooo good! I made some baked doughnuts and they were amazing, coating them in butter and sugar really makes them taste like they’re fried, it’s amazing.
That’s some lovely muffins you’ve got there!
Lauren
Ooh that sounds amazing Angela!
Belinda @bindybee

I have a collection of your lovely recipes that I want to make as gifts for Xmas. This one included.
Wondering how long majority of your recipes keep for? (So I know when to start cooking).
Thx so much for all these stunning recipes.
Lauren
Hi Vanessa, oh thanks so much for your lovely words!I would make the cinnamon and jam doughnut muffins the day before you give them, just so they are still nice and soft x
Daniella
What can I use instead of vegetable oil please ??
Lauren Matheson
Hi Daniella, you can use coconut oil or macadamia oil instead 🙂
