These are called Yam and Jam Muffins in the BH&G Kid Favorites Made Healthy cookbook. I made them for my kids on the first day of school as a healthy after school snack. I was amazed when my pickiest eater asked for another. The original recipe says you can use plum, strawberry, peach, or apricot jam or preserves.
