Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Spoon about a tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup, spreading it slightly to cover the bottom.
Add about 1 teaspoon of jam to the center of each muffin cup. Then, top with the remaining batter, ensuring the jam is fully covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the edge of a muffin comes out clean (avoid testing in the jam center).
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative touch.
Enjoy your Quick Jam Filled Muffins, served warm or at room temperature!
