COFFEE CAKE MUFFINS
Always a fan of coffee cake muffins, but tired of paying more than $2.50 every morning for a half-decent one (over $15 per week), I decided to create a recipe for home. It is imperative that you use whole milk and that you carefully fold the ingredients together to have the right consistency for your muffins.

I made these coffee cake muffins for my partner who requested them for his birthday. These are slightly more wholesome as I have substituted applesauce for half of the butter needed.

CIAMBELLA AMARETTO COFFEE CAKE MUFFINS
Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups and then coat lightly with cooking spray. 2. SOAK THE RAISINS: In a medium mixing bowl, toss the raisins and Amaretto. Let the flavors meld while you put together the batter. 3. MAKE THE BATTER: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar and baking powder. 4. In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, egg yolks, lemon and orange zests and vanilla and almond extracts 5. With a rubber spatula, add the butter mixture to the flour mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well blended. 6. Fold both the soaked raisins and Amaretto liquor into the batter; mix just until blended. The batter will be sticky and thick. 7. Scoop the batter into the muffin cups only 3/4 full. This batter will rise almost twice in the baking process. 8. MAKE THE TOPPING: In a small bowl, mix the almonds, egg white, sugar and lemon zest until it forms a paste. Place a dab over the middle of each muffin. Take a toothpick and swirl the topping around the top of the muffin (it will merge slightly with the batter). 9. Bake the muffins 15-25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Do not over bake. Let the muffins cool 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Serve cooled at room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush a 20-inch nonstick deep-dish pizza pan or cake pan with butter. Dust with flour, and shake to remove any excess. Lightly brush the outside of a small ramekin with butter. Dust with flour, and shake to remove excess. Place the buttered ramekin in the center of the prepared pizza pan; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and the baking powder. Whisk ingredients to combine.
- In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, the milk, the eggs and egg yolks, the lemon zest, and the vanilla.
- Add the butter mixture to the flour mixture. Whisk together until all of the flour has been incorporated. Spoon the batter around the prepared pan, working from the inside of the pan to the outside (the pan will not be filled completely, and there will be a border from the edge of dough to pan).
- In a small bowl, mix together the egg white and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar; sprinkle mixture over the batter.
- Bake cake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. While the cake is still warm, use two forks to gently lift the ramekin out of the center of the cake. Let cake cool completely, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right coffee. Use a dark roast coffee with a strong flavor to ensure the muffins have a rich coffee taste.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
- Use a muffin scoop to fill the muffin tins. This will help ensure that the muffins are all the same size and shape.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in dry muffins.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan.
Conclusion:
These Amaretto Coffee Cake Muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. The muffins are moist and flavorful, with a hint of coffee and almond extract. The streusel topping adds a crunchy and sweet touch. These muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
