Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400F.
Toast almonds under broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking constantly. Allow to cool. Place in food processor and chop until powder.
Add sugar, orange zest and cinnamon to a mixing bowl and stir in almond powder. In a separate bowl, whip eggs whites to firm peaks. Fold into almond mixture.
Grease a 12-slot muffin pan and fill each cup.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until a toothpick exits cleanly. Allow to cool before serving. |
