Fruit Filled Muffins

Submitted by Chef #492485

"Here's an easy variation of a recipe I tried out and didn't end up following the directions but turned out delicious! I normally don't like Bisquick recipes b/c they aren't sweet enough and tend to be too starchy and end up tasting more like biscuits but i think screwing this up made them better. If you don't want to bother with the icing they are still sweet and yummy without it. I used a variety of jellies such as: sugar free Orange Marmalade, Sugar Free Raspberry Preserves, Regular Blueberry Preserves, and Regular Strawberry Preserves. You can also make them lighter by substituting 2 egg whites or 1/4 cup fat-free egg product for the egg. Use fat-free (skim) milk and Bisquick Heart Smart® mix."

Great recipe! This is a quick and easy way to have a variety of "fruit" muffins when you're out of fruit. I always have some kind of jam in the fridge -- today I used strawberry jam. Delicious, and very pretty with a tiny bit of jam peeking out of the tops. I didn't care for the icing but the muffins are great w/o it. Oh, and I used 1/2 cup granulated sugar in the muffin batter, instead of the powdered sugar because I was running low. Thanks for posting!
