Author Notes
I mix some of my blood orange marmalade into the muffin dough which you can easily replace with bitter orange marmalade (that’s what I normally do) or with plum jam or any other jam that fits to cinnamon and nutmeg as I add these two spices as well. These muffins are light and fluffy, I love them warm, tear them in half and let their wintery aroma fill the air! —Meike Peters | eat in my kitchen

Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Mix the melted butter, the milk, egg and marmalade.

Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until you have a lumpy dough. The more you mix it the more it will loose its light texture so don’t mix it too long.
