Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Lemon and Orange Yogurt Muffins.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped almonds, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of orange zest, honey, and almond extract. Mix until crumbly and set aside for the topping.
Step 3
In another small bowl, stir together the melted butter, 2 tablespoons of lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of orange zest. In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup of sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and yogurt mixtures to the dry ingredients and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until just combined.
Step 5
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each almost to the top. Sprinkle the almond topping over each muffin and add a sprinkle of turbinado sugar on top.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 10 to 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
