Avocado Almond Muffins

2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. slivered almonds
1 egg
1/4 c. butter, melted
1 c. milk
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled & pureed

Blend flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and almonds. In a small bowl beat together butter, milk and pureed avocado. Beat egg and add to liquid mixture. Combine with dry ingredients and blend until just moistened. Spoon into muffin cups. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees. Invert onto rack until cool.

NOTE: These were a little sweeter than I would have preferred. Next time I'm going to try cutting the sugar amount just a little.
