How to Make Honey Vanilla Jam Bites

Step 1: Prepare the batter

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease your mini cake or muffin molds.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, and honey until light and slightly fluffy.

Add vanilla extract and olive oil, then mix well until smooth.

Step 2: Add dry ingredients

Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gently fold everything together until you get a smooth batter. Do not overmix.

Step 3: Bake

Spoon the batter into prepared molds, filling them about 3/4 full.

Bake for 18–20 minutes or until the tops turn golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Let them cool slightly before removing from the molds.

Step 4: Serve

Top with homemade berry jam or spoon a little jam into the center before serving.

Enjoy warm with tea, coffee, or as a simple sweet treat anytime.
