I like to snack on apple slices slathered with almond butter. That's the flavor combo that inspired these muffins. Add a dash of almond extract to boost the nuttiness. —Kelly Alesso, Chicago, IL

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1-1/4 cups 2% milk
  • 1/3 cup creamy almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, whisk the first seven ingredients. In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, almond butter, oil and vanilla until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in apple and 1/4 cup almonds.
  2. Fill 15 greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Sprinkle with remaining almonds.
  3. Bake 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm.
