Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g Fine yellow polenta (cornmeal)
- 100 g Almond flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 75 g Unsalted butter (melted)
- 120 g Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 60 ml Honey
- 120 ml Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tbsp Orange zest
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the polenta, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, Greek yogurt, honey, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly thick.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
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. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
