Almond Blueberry Muffins with Lemon Glaze
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup melted butter, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1 tsp almond extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the muffins are cooling, make the lemon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2-3 tbsp of fresh lemon juice, and 1 tsp of lemon zest until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.
- Serve and enjoy!
The history of Almond Blueberry Muffins with a lemon glaze can be traced back to the fusion of traditional American muffins with a touch of European influence. The combination of almond and blueberry creates a delightful flavor profile, while the addition of a zesty lemon glaze adds a refreshing twist. Renowned chefs in the Pacific Northwest, known for their use of fresh, local ingredients, have popularized this variation of the classic muffin. The best version of this dish can be found in artisanal bakeries that prioritize using plump, juicy blueberries and high-quality almond extract. The key to perfecting this recipe lies in achieving the ideal balance of sweetness from the blueberries, nuttiness from the almonds, and tanginess from the lemon glaze. For a unique twist, some bakers incorporate a hint of lavender into the muffin batter, adding a subtle floral note to complement the fruity flavors. Whether enjoyed as a breakfast treat or a delightful snack, these muffins are a delightful indulgence for any occasion.
