Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine sugar, almond milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and the sugar begins to dissolve.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredient mixture into it. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Mix just until the ingredients are incorporated and no dry flour streaks remain.
- Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: For the best results, use a kitchen scale or measuring cups to ensure you have the right proportions of flour and other ingredients.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so be gentle!
- Add Extra Flavor: Consider adding a hint of lemon zest or almond extract to enhance the flavor profile of your muffins.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary in temperature, so start checking your muffins at the 22-minute mark. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
- Cool Properly: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents them from becoming soggy.
- Storage Tips: To keep your muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container. They can be enjoyed at room temperature for up to three days, or you can freeze them for longer storage.
