Tips:

  • Use blanched almonds for a milder flavor and smoother texture.
  • Toast the almonds for a richer flavor.
  • Use fresh orange zest for the best flavor.
  • Grate the orange zest finely so that it distributes evenly throughout the muffins.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. Overfilling the cups can result in muffins that rise too much and spill over.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
