When I started this blog, strawberries were one of my go to ingredient for recipes. Now looking back at it, I understand why. Obviously having started this blog in the springs is a huge part of that but the other thing is that strawberries are one of my favorite fruit ever!
I could seriously eat strawberries for every meal of the day and wouldn’t be bored of them, and that’s how this recipe came around.
These are the best strawberry jam stuffed muffins
These strawberry jam stuffed muffins are light, packed with berries and will brighten up any morning. The actual muffin batter is made with greek yogurt to make them rich and moist at the same time. It then gets a generous amount of sliced strawberries added to the batter and is then filled with fresh strawberry jam.

How to store strawberry jam-filled muffins?
You can store these muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. I like to have them cold right out of the refrigerator but I know others might prefer them a bit warmer. Pop them in the microwave for 10-20 seconds and enjoy!
Freezing strawberry muffins
You can also store these muffins in the freezer. Place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Whenever you are ready to enjoy them, thaw them in the freezer overnight or on the counter top if you want them a bit faster.
You can then either heat them up in the oven at 350F for 5 minutes of in the microwave fro 10-20 seconds.
When adding the streusel topping to the muffins, gently press the streusel down the batter so that it sticks to the actual muffin while baking.

- Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture and gently fold until smooth. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
- Fill each muffin cup with a small cookie scoop of batter, make sure that the bottom of the muffin cup is covered. Now, add one teaspoon of the strawberry jam. Cover the jam with more muffin batter and repeat this for all of the muffins.
- Sprinkle each muffin with the streusel topping and gently press that streusel down to make sure that it sticks to the muffins when you bake it.
- Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. If the streusel doesn't get golden brown you can always broil the muffins for 1-3 minutes making sure to keep an eye out on them since every oven tends to be different.

These are AMAZING! Me & my 3 children added this to our favorite recipe list. I used strawberry syrup in place of the jam (since it was all I had on hand). When to add the 1 egg isn’t included in the instructions but I knew it needed to be added to wet ingredients. Thank you for a perfect recipe!
Chahinez
Thank you for catching that! Just fixed it. I’m so glad you liked the recipe!

I have no yogert. What can I change or add?
Chahinez
Hi Joyce! You can use a substitute, but be aware that when changing the ingredients, the outcome of the recipe will turn out differently.
Alice
Delicious! I made these with raspberry jam, raspberries, and raspberry greek yogurt (reduced the sugar). My family enjoyed these thouroughly and begged for more.
Chahinez
That sounds delightful!!
Elaine
Wonderful little beauties! I chose not to add the fresh strawberries since it is January and strawberries are not that great. I will definitely add the fresh berries when they are in season again. These muffins are just delicious. Will be making these often. Thank you for a great recipe!
Chahinez
You are so welcome!! Also this is your sign to try them again with the in season strawberries!
