Almond-Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins image

For a sweet, light and springy flavor combination, you can't beat these muffins. Start with Betty Crocker™ lemon poppy seed muffin & quick bread mix, and add a bit of almond extract for a nutty-sweet flavor boost. A topping of sweet glaze and toasted almonds makes them pretty as a picture and adds a touch of extra zingy flavor and crunch. Bake them up in pretty liners for special occasions-they'll be a welcome addition to your brunch buffet!

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 box (14.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ lemon poppy seed muffin & quick bread mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on muffin mix box
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F (400°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottoms only of 12 regular-size muffin cups, or place foil or paper baking cup in each muffin cup.
  • In medium bowl, stir muffin mix, water, oil, eggs and almond extract with spoon just until blended (batter may be lumpy). Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about 1/4 cup each).
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and tops spring back when touched. Cool in pan on cooling rack 5 minutes. Carefully remove from pan (if muffins are not in paper cups, run knife around sides before removing).
  • Squeeze Glaze packet from muffin mix about 10 seconds (do not microwave). Cut off tip of 1 corner of packet with scissors. Drizzle glaze over warm muffins. Sprinkle almonds on top. Serve warm or cool.
