Almond Mini Muffins

  • 2/3 C all purpose flour
  • 2/3 C whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 C almonds, chopped and toasted
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1/3 C skim milk
  • 3 T brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 3 T canola oil

Place both types of flour into a large mixing bowl.
Toss to mix together.
Add the almonds, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg and mix well.
In a separate bowl mix the egg and milk together.
Add the brown sugar and oil and mix until all the ingredients are incorporated together.
Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients.
Stir with a wooden spoon until just moist.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray a mini muffin tin with a non stick cooking spray.
Pour the batter into each muffin cup filling it 3/4 full.
Bake 10 minutes or until a golden brown.

To ensure a perfect muffin always stir the batter with a wooden spoon and be sure to stir gently. Over stirring or using a metal spoon can cause the muffins to become hard while baking.
