Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Spoon one heaping tablespoon of batter into each muffin liner, creating a base layer.
Add about 1 teaspoon of jam to the center of each muffin cup. Be careful to keep the jam in the middle and not let it touch the edges of the liner.
Top the jam with another tablespoon of batter, ensuring the jam is fully covered. The liners should be about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the non-jam part of the muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
