My Insatiable Son Bakes Muffins

My Insatiable son enjoys cooking and has become known for his muffins in our small circle of friends. His favorites are Blueberry, Peach Vanilla Jam and Chocolate Chocolate Chip.

Peach Vanilla Jam Muffins

2 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil or extra light Olive Oil
1 cup milk
1 tsp Vanilla Butter and Nut flavoring (straight vanilla will do…)
1/2 cup of mom’s home made Peach Vanilla Jam (ordinary Peach jam will do)

3 cups muffin mix (see side bar)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Grease 12- cup muffins pans.

In a large mixing bowl, combine oil, eggs and Vanilla Butter and Nut flavoring to look like an owl’s face.
