Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Raspberry Filled Donut Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture and milk, alternating, until just combined.
  6. Spoon the batter into the muffin liners halfway, then drop a dollop of raspberry jam and cover with more batter.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dip the tops in melted butter, then roll in granulated sugar for a sweet coating.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
