Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup gluten-free flour blend
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, gluten-free flour blend, sugar, and poppy seeds. Whisk these ingredients well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and almond extract together until well blended.
- Make the batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Prepare muffin tin: Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners. Pour the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
- Bake the muffins: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh almond flour and a certified gluten-free flour blend.
- Almond extract can be substituted with vanilla extract if preferred.
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure a light and fluffy texture.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- These muffins can be made dairy-free if using dairy-free egg substitutes.
