Strawberry-Almond Muffins

Some of the best muffins I've ever done. My son ate 3, me 2 and the rest gorged my hubby. That means, it had to be good :)

 

Ingredients for 12 muffins:

• 185 grams of self-raising flour - I've used a gluten-free

• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• zest of half a lemon
• pinch of salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 120 grams of butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 apple - I used sour
• 6 very large strawberries
• 50g flaked almonds
• 180 ml hot water

Method of preparation:

• Melt butter in a saucepan.
• Peel the apple and cut it into cubes.
• Cut strawberries in half.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, ground almonds, sugar, coconut, baking powder, cinnamon, lemon zest and salt.
• In another bowl, mix the melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs and 180 ml ​​of warm water.
• Add wet ingredients to dry and mix everything.
• Add the diced apple and mix gently again.
• Put the dough in muffin molds, put half a strawberry on each muffin and sprinkle with almond flakes.
• Bake the muffins in an oven at 180 degrees for about 25 minutes.
