Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 teaspoons Pure almond extract
• 0.25 cup Slivered almonds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, sour cream, and almond extract until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few small lumps are okay.

Step 5

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. If desired, sprinkle slivered almonds on top of each muffin for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
