My two favorite muffins are blueberry muffins and almond poppy seed muffins. So a few weeks ago I set out to create an almond poppy seed muffin with the a fluffy muffin top, that had a combination of just the right amount of sweetness and almond flavor and a perfectly tender crumb. This was probably my fifth try but finally I did it =). The saying that baking is a science is definitely true. I tried different temperatures, different liquids and fats and different ratios. I’m definitely a self taught cook. Baking school could probably teach me a few things but I learn the hard way, through trial and error.

Almond Poppy Seed Muffins

These poppy seed muffins are like the ones you get at the bakery with the delicious golden muffin tops that hang over the sides. I used to frequently eat an almond poppy seed muffin from the bakery along with a chocolate milk for lunch (it made more of a brunch). I don’t know why but I loved the two of them together. You will definitely want to eat these with a nice cold glass of milk, or almond milk (if you haven’t tried almond milk yet you really should, the stuff is amazing). Enjoy!

Muffins are the go-to breakfast for busy individuals and families. I love to whip up a batch during a lazy weekend and have them ready for grab-and-go breakfast during the rest of the week. These are some of my favorites, but it’s always fun to mix it up!
