Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small mixing bowl, combine almonds, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon orange zest, honey, and almond extract until the mixture is crumbly. Set aside for topping. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate small bowl, stir together melted butter, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon orange zest. In another small bowl, blend yogurt, 1 cup sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until evenly combined. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and yogurt mixtures to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric hand mixer on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each almost to the top. Sprinkle the almond topping evenly over the muffins, then sprinkle with turbinado sugar. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. (20 minutes)

07

Step

Cool in the tin for 10 to 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack. (15 minutes)

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of lemon or orange extract to the batter.
If you don't have almond flour, you can substitute with an equal amount of all-purpose flour.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    I found that 20 minutes was too long in my oven, they were perfect at 18. Check them early!
