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. 🙂

Equipment

  • 1 12-tin regular muffin tin
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 12 muffin paper liners

Ingredients
  

MUFFINS:

  • 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil or coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup half-and-half
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. almond extract
  • 2 tbsp. poppyseeds
  • 1 cup almonds sliced (see note below)

ALMOND GLAZE:

  • 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. almond extract
  • 3 tbsp. half-and-half (see note below)

Instructions
 

MUFFINS:

  • Heat oven to 425°F (175°C).
  • Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners. (If lining with paper liners, spray each liner well with cooking spray).
  • Combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk avocado oil, half-and-half, eggs, almond extract, poppy seeds and sliced almonds until smooth.
  • Add dry ingredients mixing just until moistened.
  • Fill prepared muffin tins almost full.
  • Bake muffins at 425° for 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to 350° and bake for an additional 13 to 15 minutes, or until muffins test done when a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan on wire rack.
  • Add glaze and allow icing to dry about 15 minutes before serving.
  • Makes 1 dozen muffins.

ALMOND GLAZE:

  • Combine ingredients in a small mixing bowl with a whisk.
  • Add only as much half-and-half as needed to make a thick glaze.
  • Don’t add too much half-and-half or the glaze will be runny.
  • Drizzle glaze over top of muffins.

Notes

NOTE: The goal is for a thick icing. A thin icing will dissolve into the muffins so that it’s hardly noticeable.
 
NOTE: I wanted muffins with a lot of almonds so they would have a lot of crunch. You can decrease this amount to ½ cup sliced almonds if you prefer.
