Jam Breakfast Muffins

I like variety but don't mind a basic recipe from which to start my creativity. This is a fun one as you can use up that jar of jam everyone has gotten tired of by now and still make them enjoy it.

Jam Breakfast Muffins
4 eggs
2 cups sour cream
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup jam - your choice!
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon (only if it goes with the flavor of the jam you chose)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Vegetable oil spray two, twelve-cup muffin tins or use cupcake paper liners.

Mix together the eggs, sour cream, sugar, jam, butter, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Fold in the flour until just combined. Stir n the nuts. Divide the batter into the prepared muffin pans. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until brown.

Idea . . .
For an extra kick to the presentation, combine brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and enough softened butter to form a crumbly mixture. Sprinkle over the tops of the muffins before they go into the oven.

As usual, a drizzle of lemon or orange icing is never out of place!
