1-3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (I like a strong almond flavor, and use 1 teaspoon)
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
Sliced almonds to garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and poppy seeds and set aside. Cream butter, sugar and extract. Add eggs, beating well. Add flour mixture alternately with milk into butter mixture. Pour into greased muffin tins (or ungreased paper muffin cups) and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Bake 24 minutes or till top springs back. Makes 10 large muffins, or 12 smaller muffins.
You can also make a glaze with mixture of 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract if desired.
These muffins freeze well.

No wonder you love those muffins – they look and sound fantastic! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
I'm wondering if I could make similar muffins out of almond flour… hhhmmm… They look so good and we don't eat wheat over here
I love poppyseed muffins and have never once made them from scratch. GASP. They have such nice box mixes. haha. But you've inspired me. Thanks for linking up. Glad you're back.
Poppyseed muffins are my all time favorite. They seem not to have them at a lot of places anymore. It bums me out.
i LOVE poppyseed muffins. Haven't made them in a while. Thinking they might be a good treat for my free day. YUM!
