Marmalade Almond Muffins

When I was flicking through my recipe books for my weekly bake, I found this recipe that would use up the marmalade I made a while ago.  I have changed the almond flakes into almond meal and half the flour with wholemeal flour to make this zesty muffin packed with fibre.  If you're tired of having marmalade on toast, why not making this for breakfast with a cup of coffee?

Summer is coming in December but the temperature has already reached 30c.  I am really looking for the summer holiday to take the kids to the beach or just hide myself in the air-conditioner room while having hot curry!
