These golden, muffinlike cakes have a delicate toasted almond flavor. The collapsed look you see after baking is a good thing — they're supposed to resemble sunken muffins.
4 oz Fisher Natural Sliced Almonds, equivalent 1/2 cup, or other brand 2 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour 3/4 cup powdered sugar 4 large egg white(s) 1 tsp vanilla extract 4 Tbsp reduced-calorie margarine, melted in microwave or on stove
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 450ºF. 2. Combine almonds and flour in a food processor; process until almonds are finely ground. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and whisk in powdered sugar. 3. Whisk in egg whites and vanilla. Whisk in melted margarine. 4. Spoon 3 heaping tablespoons of batter into each of 8 nonstick muffin cups; bake 6 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400ºF; bake 6 minutes more. Turn oven off and allow cakes to stand in oven for 10 minutes. 5. Remove from oven and cool in muffin pan on a wire rack.
