Ingredients

• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

2. Arrange almonds in a single layer on a medium baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven 5 to 10 minutes, until lightly toasted.
3. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 6 cup jumbo muffin pan.
