Oh Muffin!!
You are so cute, so handy, so delicious and oh so versatile.
These muffins are an adapted version from one of the first recipes I posted on this blog. Back then we were about to leave on our Asia trip and I had thrown all kinds of things that needed using up into the mix. This time I streamlined the add-ins a little bit and made them almond – actually triple almond – muffins with white chocolate.
Yes, you read correctly. Almonds appear in three forms. There are almond milk (can be substituted with regular), almond flour and chopped almond pieces.
Despite using whole wheat flour these muffins are anything but dry and dense. Thanks to the addition of oats and almond flour the texture is wonderfully light and airy. The streusel topping creates a deliciously crunchy texture contrast to the fluffy muffins.
A perfect breakfast, quick snack on the go or comforting coffee time treat.
