Almond Poppyseed Muffins

 

I might have made these a little too soon after making our Almond Bear Claws. The claws made a lot and I probably should have frozen some of them. Because it made so many I made my family eat them up all week for breakfast so they didn't go to waste. And when I told the family what we were having for breakfast they said, "More Almonds?!.?!." It was funny! These are very good and light and were enjoyed by all. Just don't bake all your almond recipes in one week. ;)
