Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Farina (cream of wheat)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the farina, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the fresh blueberries gently, taking care not to crush them.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the tops of the muffins for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Blueberry Almond Farina Muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
