Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

¾ cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
2 egg yolks
1 ½ teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
1 ⅛ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup buttermilk
2 ½ tablespoons poppy seeds
2 egg whites

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add egg yolks one at a time, allowing the first to blend into the butter mixture before adding the last. Beat almond extract and lemon zest into the mixture.
  • Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, mixing until just combined into a batter. Fold poppy seeds through the batter.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks; fold into the batter. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups to about 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 15 to 18 minutes; remove from pan and let cool on rack.

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

2 cups all-purpose flour (I always use whole wheat pastry flour)
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 tablespoon flax seed meal, preferably golden
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (to spoon over tops of muffins, though I omit this)
1 cup soymilk, divided
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 teaspoons almond extract (please, I beg of you, don't use imitation!)
2/3 cup dried cherries (I chop these up a bit so they're not so big)

  • Scoop the batter evenly amongst the 12 cups of the prepared muffin pan and sprinkle remaining tablespoon over sugar over the tops of the muffins.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until muffins are just barely golden around the edges and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, and remove to a rack to cool completely.
