Moist poppy seed muffins are topped with a sweet almond-flavored icing. Bake them for a morning treat or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (12 ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • 14 tablespoons butter, 7 ounces
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk, well shaken

Icing

  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 to 5 tablespoons milk or half-and-half, or enough for drizzling consistency

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 375 F.
  2. Grease 16 muffin cups or line them with paper cupcake liners.
  3. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and soda, salt, and poppy seeds. Stir to blend thoroughly.
  4. In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the 14 tablespoons of softened butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla or 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract until well blended.
  5. With the mixer on low speed, beat in the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Beat just until thoroughly blended.
  6. Fill the muffin cups about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 23 to 26 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin will come out clean when they’re done.
  8. While the muffins are baking, make the icing. Combine the powdered sugar with the melted butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and 3 tablespoon of milk or half-and-half. Whisk or beat unti smooth. Add more milk or half-and-half as needed for a thin glaze.
  9. When the muffins test done, remove the pans to a rack to cool slightly.
  10. Remove the warm muffins to a rack and drizzle with the glaze.
