Almond Tres Leches Muffins
"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!
