Customizable citrus olive oil muffins. The olive oil gives these muffins a texture similar to pound cake. Serves 2 for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
- ¼ cups High Quality Olive Oil
- ½ teaspoons (heaping) Citrus Zest Of Your Choice
- ⅓ cups Sugar
- 3 drops Almond Extract
- 1 whole Egg White
- 2 Tablespoons Milk
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Citrus Juice Of Your Choice
- ⅓ cups Plus 1/4 Cup Flour
- ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
- Pinch Of Salt
- ⅓ cups Slivered Almonds
- Powdered Sugar For Serving (optional)
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and place 4 cupcake liners in 4 cups in a muffin pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and citrus zests of your choice. Add the sugar, almond extract, egg white, milk and citrus juice. Whisk the liquid ingredients together very well.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and slivered almonds. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry and stir until just combined.
Divide the batter between the 4 muffin cups and bake on the center rack in the oven for 16-18 minutes. Test with a toothpick for doneness—cupcakes should be moist with some crumbs clinging to the toothpick. Let cool, dust with powdered sugar and serve.
