Time 50m

Yield 18 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup fresh orange juice, at room temperature
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 large orange, zested
1 cup almond flour
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted (see Cook's Note)
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 18 muffin cup pan with paper liners. Set aside.
  • Using a hand mixer on medium speed, in a medium bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. Beat in the orange juice, olive oil, yogurt, vanilla extract, almond extract, and orange zest.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, and salt.
  • In batches, stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just blended. Stir in the almonds. Fill the cups with batter, 1/3 of the way full. Bake until golden on top and a tester inserted into the center of the muffins comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 20 minutes. Place on a wire rack and cool for 20 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.

These muffins are the perfect combination of sweet and tart. The orange flavor is really refreshing and the almonds add a nice crunch. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my muffins turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

These muffins were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add a little more liquid to the batter next time.

These muffins were a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of orange-flavored baked goods, but these muffins were surprisingly good. The orange flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the muffins were really moist and fluffy.

These muffins are so easy to make and they're always a hit with my friends and family. I love that I can use up leftover orange zest and olive oil in the recipe.

I was a bit skeptical about the olive oil in the recipe, but it really worked! The muffins were so moist and flavorful. I also loved the orange zest - it gave the muffins a really bright and cheerful flavor.

These muffins were absolutely divine! The orange scent was perfectly balanced with the nutty flavor of the almonds and the subtle bitterness of the olive oil. The texture was moist and fluffy, and the muffins were perfectly golden brown. I would defi
