Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (480g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ cups (347g) granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp (28g) poppy seeds
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¾ cup (170g) buttermilk
  • ½ cup (114g) sour cream, or full-fat yogurt
  • ½ cup (100g) neutral oil
  • 4 tbsp (57g) unsalted butter, melted & cooled
  • 2 tsp almond extract
  • sliced almonds
  • Sanding sugar

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. Stir to combine and set aside.
  2. In a larger mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, sour cream, oil, melted butter, and almond extract until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. The batter will be quite thick!
  4. Let the bowl sit on the counter for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425ºF.
  5. Line a 12-count muffin pan with 6 muffin liners, using every other well. Fill each liner with at least ½ cup of batter, allowing it to form a dome. Top with sliced almonds and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
  6. Bake the muffins for 7 minutes at 425ºF. Then, lower the temperature to 350ºF and bake for an additional 14-16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, allow the batter to rest before baking to allow the flavors to meld.
These muffins freeze well, making them perfect for meal prep or to enjoy later.
Feel free to substitute lemon extract for a citrus twist.
