LEMON SUGAR ALMONDS



Lemon Sugar Almonds image

I couldn't find a good recipe for lemon almonds, so i came up with this one. Its basically modified from an orange almond recipe I found online. You could probably easily substitute oranges in this recipe, i just haven't tried that yet. I suppose you could also swap out the nuts if you wanted, which is what I'm trying next! I love lemons and i love almonds, so I think these are delicious and addictive!

Provided by fabeveryday

Time 45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups almond flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup white sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
½ cup almond flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon half-and-half
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 10 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Sift almond flour, baking powder, and baking soda together into a bowl and set aside.
  • Mix sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add flour mixture into the wet ingredients and mix until well combined, but be careful not to overmix. Distribute the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling the cups all the way to the top.
  • Make the topping by mixing almond flour, brown sugar, and butter together until crumbly. Set aside.
  • Bake muffins in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and sprinkle crumble mixture over the tops. Continue baking until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool muffins in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  • While the muffins are cooling, mix powdered sugar, half-and-half, and lemon juice together in a small bowl for the glaze. Remove the muffins from the pan and drizzle the glaze over the top.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality almonds for the best results. Look for plump, evenly-colored nuts with no signs of damage or discoloration.
  • To make the almonds extra crispy, toast them in the oven before coating them in the lemon-sugar mixture.
  • Use fresh lemon zest for the brightest flavor. Avoid using bottled or jarred lemon juice, as it can be bitter.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the almonds, as they can quickly burn. Watch them closely and remove them from the heat as soon as they are coated in the sugar syrup.
  • Store the lemon-sugar almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Lemon-sugar almonds are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or treat. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or simply enjoying at home. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create this classic candy that is sure to please everyone.
