Ingredients

• 150 g Fine yellow polenta (cornmeal)
• 100 g Almond flour
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 75 g Unsalted butter (melted)
• 120 g Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
• 60 ml Honey
• 120 ml Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tbsp Orange zest
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the polenta, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, Greek yogurt, honey, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly thick.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

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 let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
