Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 tsp of baking powder, 1/2 tsp of baking soda, 1/2 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and almond extract. Stir in the buttermilk until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top of each muffin.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
The history of Almond Blueberry Muffins dates back to the early 19th century when muffins became a popular breakfast item in England. The addition of blueberries and almonds to the traditional muffin recipe is said to have originated in the United States, where these ingredients were abundant. The subtle hint of cinnamon was later introduced to add warmth and depth to the flavor profile. Today, this delightful combination of flavors can be found in bakeries and cafes across the country, with notable renditions in the Pacific Northwest and New England regions. The key to perfecting this recipe lies in using fresh, plump blueberries and high-quality almonds, while the addition of cinnamon elevates the overall taste experience. For a unique twist, some chefs also incorporate almond flour for a richer texture. Whether enjoyed as a grab-and-go breakfast or a teatime treat, Almond Blueberry Muffins with a hint of cinnamon continue to be a beloved classic.
