Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with butter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and melted butter and whisk until well combined.
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the sugar mixture and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gently stir in the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, and mixing just until incorporated.
Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Fold in the sliced almonds, reserving a few for topping the muffins.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle the reserved sliced almonds on top of the batter in each muffin cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your almond muffins warm, or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
