Preheat the oven to 180 ° C and press the muffin paper cases into the muffin tray, or grease the tray well.
Put the flour and baking powder through a sieve and mix with the almonds and dates in a bowl. In a second bowl, beat the butter, sugar, eggs and amaretto until frothy, add to the flour mixture and stir in (lumps may form!)
Pour the dough into the molds, sprinkle with the almonds and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
Let cool for 10 minutes and then turn out of the muffin tin with a tea towel.
These muffins are very juicy and taste almost better the next day. They are also easy to freeze and, if necessary, thaw in the oven!
