Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup sifted flour, all-purpose or white whole wheat
  • 3 tablespoon sugar or sugar substitute
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/3 cup butter or butter substitute, melted
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon fresh lemon rind, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 3/4 cup skim milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 3/4 cup almonds, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
     
  2. In a separate bowl lightly beat the egg then beat in the milk, butter, lemon extract and the vanilla.
     
  3. Stir in the nuts and lemon rind and pour all of this at once into the bowl with the flour mixture.
     
  4. Stir the ingredients briskly with a fork until all are moistened.
     
  5. Be careful not to overstir as the batter should look lumpy.
     
  6. Grease muffin pans and fill the cups 2/3 full.
     
  7. You should have enough batter for 12 muffins.
     
  8. Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes.
     
  9. When finished remove the muffins from the pans and allow them to cool on a wire rack to prevent steaming.
