Delicious Almond Poppy Seed Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
14
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup slivered almonds (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

    Ensure the oven is fully heated before baking for even cooking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help ensure there are no lumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, almond extract, and vanilla extract until smooth.

    Make sure the buttermilk is at room temperature for better mixing.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

    A few lumps are okay; overmixing can lead to tough muffins.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Sprinkle slivered almonds on top if using.

    Use an ice cream scoop for even distribution.
  6. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even browning.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
