Almond meal Muffins with Oats and Honey | Easy #school snacks | Party Ideas

I had this festish to make
Almond Meal at home. Lots of recipes I read online had replaced wholewheat or all purpose with
this, and I was quite intrigued to make it. Pulse the almonds a little more,
and you end up with almond butter, pulse them a little less, and you can end up
with coarse bits. The trick (as I learnt the rather hard way) is to pulse them
just enough (4-5 sec bursts) till they are slightly smooth.

We loved the nuttiness that
this brought to the muffins – and with bananas and honey you cant really mess
up🙂. If you
are looking for a nutty muffin for parties or kids alike, do try this out and
let me know how you liked it..
