You can never go wrong with muffins, right?
I LOVE hosting friends & family for lazy afternoons of drinking too much coffee, or steeping up a variety of teas. This almond poppyseed muffin recipe has made an appearance in my oven quite a few times over the last few months.
What do I serve them with? Citrus green tea, London Fogs, and/or good strong black coffee. I love making a light roast from my local coffee shop in my pour over. I always grind my own beans using a grinder. It’s held up for 3 years so far!
Okay, I’d be lying if I said this almond poppyseed muffin recipe only use a few ingredients. HOWEVER they are all things I typically have in my pantry and fridge. I use a mix of all purpose and almond flour to really boost the flavor. the poppy seeds add a good crunch, and the Greek yogurt helps boost up the protein content and, arguably more important, keeps them nice and moist.
Helpful hint- DO NOT over mix your muffins. I like to mix until the batter is just starting to come together, then leave it alone for about 5 minutes. This will help hydrate your flour and give the end product a better texture.
Okay, this is really exciting for me. This is the FIRST recipe I’m posting on this blog. YAY.
