The most amazing soft and fluffy simple almond muffins. These muffins are filled with almond flavour and are similar to an almond croissant flavour wise without all the fat and butter. The most delicious muffin to snack on.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup (100g) almond flour
  • 2 tsp (6g) cornstarch
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (45g) canola oil (or other neutral oil)
  • 1 cup (220g) unsweetened almond milk (or any kind of milk)
  • 1/3 cup (75g) plain Greek nonfat yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure almond extract
  • Zest from 1 lemon or 1 orange (optional)

Optional Topping

  • 1/4 cup (25g) sliced almonds
  • 1/2 tbsp (5g) icing sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, almond flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and sugar. Whisk until well combined. Add the oil, milk, yogurt, vanilla extract and almond extract and whisk until combined. (if you're adding orange or lemon zest, add that here as well and whisk it in)
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold until just combined. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes and preheat the oven to 425℉ while you wait.
  • Line or spray 12 muffin tins. Fill each tin to almost overflowing. Use all of the batter! As we've rested the batter, it won't actually spill out the sides. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top of each muffin if you like.
  • Bake at 425℉ for 5 minutes and then without opening the oven door, drop the temperature to 350℉ and bake for an additional 10-13 minutes or until they spring back when touched or a toothpick comes out clean. Once fully cooled, add icing sugar to a small strainer and sprinkle over top of the muffins if you like. Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days and enjoy!
