Preparation Time

  • Cooking Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients (for 10 pieces)

Muffins:

  • 2 eggs
  • 100 grams sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
  • 125 grams yogurt
  • 50 grams melted butter
  • 185 grams flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 100 grams jam (your choice)

Flour Crumb:

  • 25 grams sugar
  • 25 grams flour
  • 25 grams butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Prepare Batter:
    • In a large bowl, beat the eggs, 100 grams of sugar, and vanilla sugar until well combined.
    • Add the yogurt and melted butter, mixing until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  3. Fill Muffin Tins:
    • Spoon a small amount of batter into each muffin liner, filling about one-third full.
    • Add a teaspoon of jam to the center of each muffin.
    • Cover the jam with more batter until the muffin liners are about two-thirds full.
  4. Prepare Crumb Topping:
    • In a small bowl, combine 25 grams of sugar and 25 grams of flour.
    • Cut in the 25 grams of butter using a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    • Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over each muffin.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (jam might stick to the toothpick, but the surrounding batter should be set and dry).
  6. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
