Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
-
In a small saucepan, melt the butter for the topping over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and honey until the mixture is smooth.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sliced almonds until they are well coated in the caramel mixture.
-
Spoon the almond topping evenly over the muffin batter in the cups.
-
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve the Bienenstich Muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delicious combination of fluffy muffin and crunchy almond topping.
