Eggless Jam Swirled Muffins ( For the Baking Eggless)

We had to make Jam Swirled Muffins for the Baking Eggless Challenge of June . They were suggested by priya suresh from priyaeasyntastyrecipes  . These delicious muffins were an instant hit at my home and we all liked them . I have used curds instead of the eggs as I always feel comfortable using curds as a substitute and I was extremely satisfied with the results.

Thanks Gayathri and Priya for this lovely challenge.

Ingredients :

2 cups..................Maida (all purpose flour)
3/4 cup................sugar (powdered)
2 tsp....................baking powder
1/4 tsp................baking soda
1cup...................curds
1/2 cup...............milk
4 tbsp.................vegetable oil
few drops...........strawberry essence
1/2 cup...............strawberry jam ( add 1 tsp water and whip )

Method :

Blend maida, baking powder and soda in blender and keep aside.
Now blend sugar, curds, milk, oil and essence in the blender.
Carefully fold the blended maida mixture in the blended liquids.
Add the jam and just give a gentle swirl with fork so that the jam is not overmixed.
You should be able to see the jam and cake dough separately.
Now line a muffin tray with the paper cups and pour the cake batter.
Preheat the oven at 180 degrees and bake the muffins for 15 to 20 minutes .
If the inserted tooth pick comes out clean the muffins are done.
Remove from the oven and muffin tray and cool  them.
They taste good warm as well as cold.
