Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 0.75 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds, optional (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Greek yogurt, almond extract, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix—stop as soon as the batter comes together.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the tops with sliced almonds if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy these almond-kissed poppy seed delights!
