APPLE POPPY SEED MUFFINS



Apple Poppy Seed Muffins image

How is it that lemon got married to poppyseed in certain baked goods? Poppyseed I can take, but I don't like lemon...However I found this recipe, which gives me my poppyseed with something infinitely more palatable, apple! In addition I replaced some of the white flour with wheat, replaced white sugar with brown sugar and traded egg substitute for whole eggs...Try it, you'll like it!

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.

POPPY SEED MUFFINS

These are the best muffins I have ever made. They are not low-fat but I don't worry. (I can watch other stuff - these are too good) I make them in the jumbo muffin pans but they will work in the normal size - just adjust the baking time.

3 eggs
2 ½ cups white sugar

As a baking enthusiast, one of the best things about experimenting with new recipes is discovering the different flavors that can be combined to create mouth-watering treats. One such treat that has gained popularity over the years is apple poppy seed muffins. The combination of the tartness of the apple and the nuttiness of the poppy seeds creates a unique taste that is both savory and sweet. If you're looking to try your hand at making apple poppy seed muffins, there are a few tips you should keep in mind to ensure that your muffins turn out perfect every time. 1. Choose the right apples One of the most important aspects of making apple poppy seed muffins is selecting the right apples to use. While you can technically use any type of apple, some varieties work better than others. For instance, Granny Smith apples are great for baking since they are tart and hold their shape well when baked. Honeycrisp apples, on the other hand, are sweet and juicy, but they tend to break down when baked. If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you can also use Pink Lady or Braeburn apples. 2. Prepare your ingredients beforehand Before you start making your apple poppy seed muffins, it's important to make sure that you have all the ingredients ready. This includes measuring out the flour, sugar, and other dry ingredients as well as chopping your apples into small pieces. By having everything prepared beforehand, you'll be able to focus on the baking process without having to stop and get things ready as you go. 3. Don't overmix the batter When making muffins, it's important not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough and dense muffins that aren't as enjoyable to eat. To avoid this, mix the wet and dry ingredients together just until they are combined. It's okay if there are still a few lumps in the batter. 4. Use a muffin tin with liners Using a muffin tin with liners is essential when making apple poppy seed muffins. Not only does it make cleanup easier, but it also ensures that your muffins bake evenly. If you don't have muffin liners, make sure to grease your muffin tin well to prevent sticking. 5. Fill your muffin liners correctly When filling your muffin liners, it's important to do so correctly. Overfilling the liners can cause the muffins to overflow and create a mess in your oven. On the other hand, underfilling the liners can result in muffins that are too small and don't rise properly. A good rule of thumb is to fill each liner about two-thirds of the way full. 6. Combine the apples and poppy seeds in the batter To ensure that the apples and poppy seeds are evenly distributed throughout the muffin batter, mix them together in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will ensure that there are no clumps of poppy seeds or chunks of apples that stick out in the muffins. 7. Sprinkle some sugar on top One of the best ways to add extra flavor and texture to your apple poppy seed muffins is to sprinkle some sugar on top before baking. This will create a crispy, caramelized crust that is delicious and irresistible. 8. Allow the muffins to cool before serving Once your apple poppy seed muffins are finished baking, it can be tempting to dig right in. However, it's important to let the muffins cool down for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the muffins to set so that they don't crumble when you try to remove them from the muffin tin. 9. Store the muffins properly If you have leftover apple poppy seed muffins, it's important to store them properly to ensure that they stay fresh. Place the muffins in an airtight container or cover them with plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator. They should last for up to five days. 10. Experiment with different flavors Finally, don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors when making apple poppy seed muffins. You can add cinnamon, nutmeg, or even vanilla extract to the batter to create a unique taste that's all your own. In conclusion, making apple poppy seed muffins is an easy and enjoyable baking experience. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can create delicious muffins that are perfect for breakfast, snacking, or dessert. So why not give it a try and see what kind of delicious treats you can whip up in your kitchen!
