Strawberry Jelly Donut Muffins

I saw a recipe for this last week and decided to try it out as I had a jar of strawberry jam that I made last year which I have to finish really soon. I gotta say, my muffins look like they exploded… The batter is suppose to completely wrap around the jelly, but the jelly ran to the sides before I can put the last 1/3 batter into the individual muffin pan. I’m thinking there’s a technique making this kind of jelly muffin?
