How to prepare 5-Minute Muffins

To prepare the 5-minute muffins, pour the all-purpose flour 1 and baking powder 2 into the bowl of a mixer fitted with blades. Also add the almonds 3,

the peeled hazelnuts 4, the brown sugar 5, and the half teaspoon of salt 6.

Finally, add the diced butter 7, the 3 eggs 8, and the grated zest of one lemon 9, taking only the yellow part.

Once all the ingredients are in 10, close the mixer 11 and blend everything until you get a creamy, smooth, and homogeneous mixture 12.

Place the muffin liners in a muffin pan and use a spoon to transfer the batter inside, not exceeding 2/3 of their capacity (13-14); you should distribute about 2.3 oz of batter per liner. Bake in a preheated static oven at 340°F for about 25 minutes; always do the toothpick test and once cooked, remove from oven 15 and enjoy your 5-minute muffins!

Storage

Store the 5-minute muffins for up to 2 days under a glass dome. Alternatively, they can be frozen once cooked if all fresh ingredients were used.

Tip

Flavor the muffins with orange zest or vanilla. If you prefer, you can also add a tablespoon of liqueur, like amaretto or cointreau. Once cooked, dust them with powdered sugar.
