directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 6-muffin jumbo muffin tin.
Step 2
Melt butter, molasses, corn syrup and sugar until fluid and remove from heat. Stir together flours, baking powder, spices and salt and blend into butter mixture. Stir in eggs. In a separate cup, stir milk, baking soda and ground almonds and add to batter. Stir in walnuts. Scrape batter into prepared tin and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a tester inserted in the canter of a muffin comes out clean. Glaze or serve with Spiced Honey Glaze.

Slowly heat all ingredients over medium-low heat. Heat for 15 minutes, then strain and store. You can also leave spices in for a more intense flavour.
