Healthy Almond Muffins
Description
Healthy Almond Muffins rely mainly on almond flour combined with eggs, coconut oil, and maple syrup, resulting in nutrient-dense muffins with natural sweetness and a mild almond flavor. The addition of almond extract reinforces the nutty taste, while sliced almonds provide texture both inside the muffins and as a garnish on top.
Baked in a muffin tin at 350°F for about 28 minutes, these muffins develop a soft crumb with a lightly crisp top. The recipe uses baking powder and baking soda for leavening and salt to balance sweetness.
These muffins are well suited for those seeking a grain-free treat or a nut-based snack. They can be enjoyed fresh or stored after cooling.
