How to Make Jam Filled Oat Bran Muffins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and applesauce; mix well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full with batter.
Spoon a teaspoon of jam into the center of each muffin.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the bite-sized muffins: prepare the same batter as above. Fill a mini muffin tin 2/3 full and bake for 12-15 minutes. Top with cinnamon sugar before serving.
