Fruit-Filled Scuffins

These Fruit-Filled Scuffins are a delightful combination of muffins and scones, filled with a burst of mixed berries and a touch of fruit preserves. They make for a perfect breakfast treat or afternoon snack.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup mixed berries blueberries, raspberries, strawberries
• 1/4 cup fruit preserves apricot, raspberry, or your choice
• Powdered sugar for dusting optional

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a muffin tin with paper liners

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined

Do not overmix; its okay if there are a few lumps

Gently fold in the mixed berries, being careful not to crush them

Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full

Make a small well in the center of each muffin with the back of a spoon and add a teaspoon of fruit preserves to each well

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the scuffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean

Allow the scuffins to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely

Once cooled, you can dust the scuffins with powdered sugar if desired

Enjoy your delicious fruit-filled scuffins
