Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup 46g / 1.6ozSliced blanched almonds
1/2 cup 55g / 1.9ozAtkins Bake Mix - divided
2 teaspoons 10mlGround cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlBaking powder

Recipe Instructions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray mini-muffin tins with cooking spray.

Pulse almonds in bowl of food processor and 1 tablespoon bake mix until almonds are finely ground (the bake mix will prevent over processing of almonds). Add remaining bake mix, cinnamon and baking powder; pulse to combine.

With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar substitute on until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in almond mixture with a spatula. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full with batter. (If batter appears runny, refrigerate for 30 minutes before filling tins.)

Bake 20 minutes or until set in middle. Transfer to wire rack for 5 minutes to cool. Turn out muffins on to rack to cool completely.

This recipe yields 20 muffins.
