Almond Poppy Seed Muffins Recipe
I've never understood why I could not find these most favorite of muffins without actual almonds baked in. Luckily it's a simple fix and so that's what I've done here. The extra crunch of almond is worth it and if you prefer another type of nut, don't hesitate to substitute the same amount.
