Blueberry Almond Muffins


No-stick cooking spray
1 (7 oz.) pkg. blueberry flavored muffin mix
½ cup milk
¼ teaspoon almond extract
¼ cup sliced almonds

Heat oven to 425F. Lightly spray 6 medium muffin cups with no-stick cooking spray.

Combine muffin mix, milk and almond extract in medium bowl; stir just until moistened. 

Shopping at Whole Foods means making some compromises (like kissing gluten goodbye). In this case I got a plain muffin mix and some fresh blueberries, and then doubled the rest of the ingredients in the recipe.

See? It worked out just fine. (I added a couple of eggs because that's what the mix I was using called for.) 


Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.

Although I doubled the recipe, I kept the amount of almonds the same. Because calories.



Bake at 425F for 14 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 2 to 3 minutes in pan. 

Voila!

My Rating: 4/5 "This recipe is going to come out differently with different muffin mixes. The bottom line, though, is that the combination of blueberries and almonds is delicious."
