Muffins Frangipane combine the tender crumb of classic muffins with rich, buttery almond cream filling. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert, these muffins offer a moist texture and nutty almond flavor that is both elegant and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ½ cup milk or cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Frangipane Filling

  • 6 tablespoons butter, softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup almond flour or ground almonds
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)

For Garnish (optional)

  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Slivered almonds
  • Honey drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the frangipane filling: In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add almond flour, one beaten egg, and a splash of almond extract if using. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  2. Make the muffin batter: In one bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. In another, whisk eggs, sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract if using. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  3. Assemble the muffins: Fill each muffin cup halfway with the batter. Spoon a generous amount of frangipane filling into the center of each cup, then cover with more batter until nearly full.
  4. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the muffin portion (avoiding the frangipane center) comes out clean.
  5. Cool and garnish: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar and optionally top with slivered almonds or drizzle honey before serving.

Notes

  • Use finely ground almond flour for smoother, richer frangipane texture.
  • Bring all ingredients to room temperature before mixing for even baking.
  • Do not overfill muffin cups to allow room for batter and frangipane to rise properly.
  • Always preheat your oven to ensure muffins bake correctly with a golden crust.
  • Check doneness by testing the muffin batter portion with a toothpick, avoiding the filling center.
