Back in early March I went to a ladies’ breakfast with several friends. I made a batch of Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Muffins for some protein. I added a batch of these Glazed Almond Poppyseed Muffins. I loved how both of the muffins turned out. But since I have a sweet tooth, these muffins were even more special.
These sweet muffins are terrific for a family, company or a holiday breakfast. If you enjoy the flavors of almonds or poppyseeds, you’ll enjoy these even more. I couldn’t stay out of them. Truly. 🙂
Glazed Almond Poppyseed Muffins are fantastic.
Don’t these muffins make you drool?
Every bite is irresistible.
Glazed Almond Poppyseed Muffins are terrific for a weekend, company or holiday breakfast.
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients for the muffins. I used almond extract NOT vanilla.
Combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
Stir well to combine; set aside.
Place eggs, poppyseeds, almonds and avocado oil in a mixing bowl.
Add almond extract.
Add half-and-half.
Whisk to combine.
Add flour mixture.
Stir only until just moistened.
Place paper liners in regular sized muffin tins. Spray generously with cooking spray. Fill muffin tins until almost full.
Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake about 13 to 15 minutes longer, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
I used these ingredients for the icing.
Place powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Add almond extract and half-and-half.
Add only enough half-and-half to make a thick icing.
Glaze muffins with icing.
Seriously, every bite of these muffins is fantastic.
If you enjoy almond flavored anything, these muffins are irresistible and mouthwatering.
Every delectable bite will have you drooling.
Take a bite. 🙂
