Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into the bottom of each muffin cup, spreading it evenly.
Add approximately 1 teaspoon of jam to the center of each cup, being careful to keep it from touching the edges.
Top each muffin with the remaining batter, ensuring the jam is completely covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the muffin (not the jam center) comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious homemade vanilla jam muffins!
