Calories: 203kcal
Ingredients
- 115 g unsalted butter, melted plus extra for greasing
- 65 g plain flour, plus extra for dusting the muffin holes
- 100 g almonds
- 165 g icing sugar
- pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 6 egg whites
- 36 blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan). Generously brush the holes of a 12-hole muffin tin with the extra butter, then dust each hole with flour, shaking off any excess.
- Add almonds to the Thermomix bowl and mill for 10 sec/speed 9. Add the flour, icing sugar and a pinch of salt and mix for 5 sec/speed 3 to sift out any lumps.
- Lightly whisk the egg whites with the almond extract in a separate bowl.
- Set the Thermomix to 40 sec/speed 2 and slowly pour the egg white mixture into the top until well combined.
- Scrape down the bowl, add the melted butter, and mix 3-5 sec/speed 5 until just combined. (try not to over mix).
- Pour the batter evenly into the muffin holes about half to two-thirds of the way up and place 3 blueberries into each one (they'll sink as they bake, so there is no need to push down).
- Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until lightly golden.
- Leave it in the tin for 5 minutes before cooling it on a wire rack. You may need to use a table knife to help ease them out. Dust with a bit of icing sugar before serving.
