"These muffins are just delicious. One 12oz can of sweetened condensed milk will give you enough to double a batch (24 muffins). I brought these twice to work already and they are devoured. Enjoy!"

Moist & delicately flavoured, these muffins are delicious! I didn't have quite enough slivered almonds so used ground almonds instead of a 1/4 cup flour and it worked well. Thanks!

Didn't serve with extra condensed milk.

These muffins really are delicious, possibly the best muffins I've ever made. Easy too.

Lovely muffins! they are a definite hit in my family. I used vanilla extract instead of almond and they turned out great.

Delicious. Simple and rich-tasting without being overly sweet. These rise up beautifully and are very attractive. Thanks for posting!
