Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 0.75 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.25 cup sliced almonds, optional (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Greek yogurt, almond extract, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix—stop as soon as the batter comes together.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the tops with sliced almonds if desired.

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

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy these almond-kissed poppy seed delights!
