WholeGrain Almond and Fruit Yogurt Muffins

I made these yesterday for my family for breakfast. They were fast and easy to make and I like that. It was fun to put the homemade yogurt into them that I made over the weekend. Store bought will work too. You can switch them up by adding whatever fruit you have on hand. I used some dried blueberries that I had. :) I loved the almond flavoring in them too. It a great way to give your family some nutrition for their day.

Ingredients: 
3 C whole grain flour (I ground up kamut, spelt, oats and brown rice)
1 T baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
6 T coconut oil
2 large eggs
2/3 honey or 3/4 if you want it sweeter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 1/2 C plain yogurt
1/4 C finely ground almonds
3/4 C dried fruit or fresh (I used dried blueberries)


Directions: Heat oven to 350 make 12 large muffins or lots of mini
1. In a bowl measure and stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice. Set it aside.
