Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

Batter:
1/2 Cup Raisins
4 Tablespoons Amaretto
2 Cups All-purpose Flour
3/4 Cup Sugar
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter, 1/2 stick, melted and cooled
1/2 Cup 2% Low-fat Milk
2 Large Eggs
1 Large Egg Yolk (reserve white for topping)
1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest
1/2 Tablespoon Orange Zest
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 Teaspoon Almond Extract
Topping:
1/4 Cup Sliced Almonds
1 Tablespoon Egg White
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest

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.

I would rather eat dirt than eat these muffins again.

These muffins are not worth the effort. They're just average.

These muffins are way too complicated to make. I won't be making them again.

The muffins didn't rise very much. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The muffins were a bit dry. I think I overbaked them.

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I didn't have any amaretto liqueur, so I used almond extract instead. The muffins still turned out delicious.

I made these muffins gluten-free by using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. They turned out great!

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover coffee. I always have a pot of coffee brewing, so I'm always looking for new ways to use it up.

I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I still really enjoyed these muffins. The amaretto flavor is strong enough to balance out the coffee.

I love the streusel topping on these muffins! It adds a nice crunchy texture and extra sweetness.

These muffins were a hit! They were moist and flavorful, with the perfect amount of coffee and amaretto flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
