Almond muffins

These  almond muffins are moist, tender , loaded with almond flavor. These are light and fluffy muffins with almond powder in batter and are topped with almond flakes. The almond flakes not only look pretty but gives an amazing texture to muffins.

The recipe is simple but yields absolutely delicious muffins and are great alongside a cup of tea. If you're almond obsessed like me 😉 , you'll love these.
