FRUIT & NUT MUFFINS



Fruit & Nut Muffins image

I developed this recipe because I couldn't bear to throw away the nutritious nut solids that are left after I make almond milk or walnut milk. My first batch was tasty and wonderfully moist, but a bit on the heavy side, so I made a few modifications, and came up with a lighter muffin. I'm posting here for others to try, and welcome your feedback and suggestions.
