How to Make Poppy Seed Muffins With A Hint Of Almond

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons poppy seeds, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
In a large measuring cup, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
While the muffins cool, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
In a separate small bowl, place 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
Dip the tops of the warm muffins into the melted butter, then into the sugar to coat.
Let the muffins cool completely on a wire rack.
Optional: Add 1/4 - 1/2 cup of chopped almonds to the dry ingredients before adding the wet ingredients.
Optional Substitution: Replace almond extract with 1 teaspoon of lemon extract and add lemon zest to the sugar topping for a zesty twist.
