How to Make Almond Orange Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3. Stir in ¾ cup wheat germ and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, ½ cup orange juice, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup vegetable oil.
5. Add the dry ingredients (from step 2) to the wet ingredients (from step 4) all at once. Stir gently until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
6. Stir in the zest of 1 large orange and ¾ cup slivered almonds.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
8. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the remaining almonds and wheat germ.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
