Categories     Cake     Citrus     Dairy     Dessert     Bake     Low Carb

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

Batter:
1/2 Cup Raisins
4 Tablespoons Amaretto
2 Cups All-purpose Flour
3/4 Cup Sugar
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter, 1/2 stick, melted and cooled
1/2 Cup 2% Low-fat Milk
2 Large Eggs
1 Large Egg Yolk (reserve white for topping)
1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest
1/2 Tablespoon Orange Zest
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 Teaspoon Almond Extract
Topping:
1/4 Cup Sliced Almonds
1 Tablespoon Egg White
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups and then coat lightly with cooking spray. 2. SOAK THE RAISINS: In a medium mixing bowl, toss the raisins and Amaretto. Let the flavors meld while you put together the batter. 3. MAKE THE BATTER: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar and baking powder. 4. In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, egg yolks, lemon and orange zests and vanilla and almond extracts 5. With a rubber spatula, add the butter mixture to the flour mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well blended. 6. Fold both the soaked raisins and Amaretto liquor into the batter; mix just until blended. The batter will be sticky and thick. 7. Scoop the batter into the muffin cups only 3/4 full. This batter will rise almost twice in the baking process. 8. MAKE THE TOPPING: In a small bowl, mix the almonds, egg white, sugar and lemon zest until it forms a paste. Place a dab over the middle of each muffin. Take a toothpick and swirl the topping around the top of the muffin (it will merge slightly with the batter). 9. Bake the muffins 15-25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Do not over bake. Let the muffins cool 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Serve cooled at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the muffins bake evenly and give them a tender crumb.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately. This is important for any baking recipe, but it's especially important for muffins, as the ingredients are all balanced very carefully.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at the correct temperature. The temperature in the recipe is important for ensuring that the muffins bake through properly and don't burn.
  • Don't overbake the muffins. Overbaking can make the muffins dry and crumbly. Check them for doneness a few minutes before the time in the recipe says they should be done.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent them from breaking.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also freeze the muffins for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Amaretto muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their almond flavor and moist texture, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these amaretto muffins a try.
