recipe complicated, so these Almond Muffins were the ones I reached for. With almond flour, sliced almonds, and a little almond extract, they have plenty of almond flavor while the rest of the ingredients keep the batter simple.

The muffins bake up soft and tender with a light sweetness, a gentle almond flavor, and sliced almonds on top for a little crunch. If you enjoy nutty bakes, you can also try Almond Biscotti and Maple Walnut Cookies.
