Recipe: Toasted Almond Crunch Topping

This is recipe for Toasted Almond Crunch Topping is another quick and easy recipe… a perfect addition to baked goods…. Cheesecakes… coffee cakes and muffins to name a few…

It’s a great way to jazz up muffins made from a mix… I know… a mix… heavens.. the blog snob is rolling her eyes… but hey.. you and I both know we all use them from time to time…

TIPS

To toast almonds… preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread evenly whole or sliced almonds on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes … shake the pan or stir with a cooking spoon every 2 -3 minutes. Do not leave unattended… nuts can burn easily. Allow to cool.

I used my mini chopper to finely chop toasted almond slices … about a handful at a time. Don’t fill more than that at a time otherwise the bottom slices will turn to powder and the top ones won’t chop enough.

So here’s this quick and easy topping… that I hope you try on your next batch of muffins.

Mix together the chopped almonds, brown sugar and cinnamon.
