Jamie Oliver Lemon Curd Muffins are vanilla-based muffins with a spoonful of lemon curd baked into the center. As they bake, the curd softens and creates a bright, slightly creamy filling that contrasts beautifully with the fluffy cake.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

    • 250g self-raising flour

    • 100g caster sugar

    • ½ teaspoon baking powder

    • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

    • 2 large eggs

    • 100ml vegetable oil

    • 150ml milk

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • Zest of 1 lemon

Filling

    • 150g lemon curd

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Line a muffin tray with paper cases.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently to distribute evenly.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.

Step 4: Make the Batter

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Fold gently using a spatula. Do not overmix; a slightly lumpy batter is ideal.

Step 5: Fill the Muffin Cases

Spoon batter into the cases until about half full.

Step 6: Add the Lemon Curd

Place one teaspoon of lemon curd in the center of each muffin. Cover with a little more batter so the curd is fully enclosed.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes until lightly golden and springy to touch.

Step 8: Cool Before Serving

Allow muffins to cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
