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.

These muffins are delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect. The amaretto flavor is subtle but it really adds something special. I'll definitely be making these again.

These muffins were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the amaretto flavor was barely noticeable. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a big baker, but these muffins were surprisingly easy to make. I didn't have any amaretto liqueur, so I used almond extract instead. They still turned out great! The muffins are light and fluffy with a delicious coffee flavor. I'll definitely

These muffins were a hit at my last brunch party! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out moist, flavorful, and with the perfect amount of sweetness. The amaretto flavor really shines through and pairs perfectly with the coffee. Will defini
