It's officially spring and these orange almond muffins are just the thing you need for breakfast or brunch on the weekend. They look extra fancy with the layer of sliced almonds on top and swirls of icing. They also have poppyseeds, orange zest and buttermilk in them.
Buttermilk always makes the best baked goods. They turn out soft and perfect.
I would also try out these blueberry crumb muffins.
