INGREDIENTS :

• ½ c. canola oil
• 1 c. light sour cream
• ½ c. unsweetened applesauce
• 2 eggs
• ½ c. granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ½ c. brown sugar, packed
• ¾ c. jam or jelly
• 1 ½ c. all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 c. whole wheat flour 135 grams
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 3 c. mixed berries of choice fresh or frozen
• ¼ tsp salt

DIRECTIONS :

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Using paper liners, line three muffin pans.

Step 2: In a large bowl, place the sour cream, oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well using a whisk, then add the sugars. Mix again until well blended.

Step 3: To the large bowl, add the flour along with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined. Then, gently fold in the berries.

Step 4: Into the bottom of each liner, spoon 1 tbsp of the batter and spread until the bottom is completely covered. Next, top with 2 tsp jam and cover with the rest of the batter.

Step 5: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 23 to 25 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown. Remove from the oven when allowing the muffins to cool at room temperature before serving. Enjoy!

Tips:

• Keep the muffins for up to 2 to 3 days at room temperature or in the freezer for up to 3 to 4 months.
• Freeze the raspberries before using them to prevent them from getting squashed.
• For this recipe, you are welcome to use any berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and cranberries. You can use them fresh, but I prefer to freeze them as they can be stirred in more easily.
