How to Make Almond Wheat Germ Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, honey, and almond extract.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chopped almonds.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
