Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Using a fine-mesh sifter, sift the whole wheat flour, oat flour, and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the Stevia and salt to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs lightly. Incorporate the almond milk, melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Fold gently for approximately 20 seconds. Pro Tip: Do not over-mix; a few small clumps are necessary for a light, airy rise.
- Distribute the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
- Place one teaspoon of sugar-free strawberry jam onto the center of each muffin. Use a toothpick to swirl the jam into the batter for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Transfer to a wire cooling rack immediately to prevent the bottoms from becoming soggy.

Professional Notes
Storage: Keep these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For extended freshness, refrigerate for up to 7 days, which helps maintain the moisture of the jam core.
Freezing: These are highly freezer-friendly. Wrap individual muffins in parchment paper and store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds for a fresh-baked experience.
