  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 teaspoons almond extract
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or spray with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, almond extract, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
  4. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in poppy seeds.
  5. Fill muffin cups to the top with batter.
  6. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes. Then, without opening the oven, reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
  • Try adding sliced almonds on top before baking for extra crunch.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
