Almond Poppyseed Muffins with Orange Glaze

Our family loves the flavor and texture of these almond poppy seed muffins with orange glaze.  They are perfect for breakfast or snack time.

Poppy seed Muffins with Orange Glaze

I love a fresh out of the oven sweet muffin in the morning.  Today’s flavor combination of almond and poppy seed was inspired by the famous Costco almond poppy seed muffin but the orange glaze I added on the top takes them up a few notches in my book.

These muffins are soft and delicious and are the perfect way to start your morning.

Ingredients

  • Flour

How to Make Almond Poppy Seed Muffins

  • Beat together eggs, sugar and oil in a bowl
  • Mix in milk, salt, baking powder, poppy seeds, flavorings and flour. Do not over mix.
  • Fill greased muffin tins 3/4 full.

  • Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean

Glaze:

While muffins are baking:

  • Combine sugar, juice, extracts and butter in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Stir until sugar is dissolved
  • Cool glaze to room temperature and dip tops of slightly warm muffins into glaze.

Tip

  • The biggest trick to making muffins is getting them all the same size and not ending up with extra batter at the end!  My tip is to use a scoop.  The size 16 scoop holds 1/4 cup of batter and is perfect for muffins and cupcakes.
  • Glaze the muffins while they are still warm, that way the glaze soaks into the muffin.
  • For the citrus glaze I used fresh orange juice but you can use lemon juice or lime juice for a different flavor.

    I am excited to come across your recipe. I am going to make them NOW. It is hard to find a recipe for poppyseed muffins that doesn’t required a cup or more of oil!

    Nancy, So glad you enjoyed the Creamsicle muffins – they are one of my favorite. Thanks for the suggestion – I have done that a couple of times but don’t do it everytime but I will try to do it each time now. It’s a good idea.

    Hi Leigh Anne!
    I love your muffin recipes. I made the orange creamsicle muffins, and they were soooo good. I couldn’t believe how much they tasted exactly like a creamsicle. People at work were amazed, and I quickly told them about your blog.
    One thing I wanted to ask is if you could take a picture of a muffin broken open. I like to see the density of the muffin and how it looks inside. Your pictures are great, and I would love to see that shot added to your muffin posts. Just a thought! 🙂
