  These muffins have a maple almond filling in the center that makes
  them very popular at the cafe. Some of the regular customers would
  like us to make them every morning. They are a bit more work than
  most muffins but are worth the extra effort.
  
  Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  
  Mix together the flours, baking powder, and salt.
  
  In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, oil, maple syrup, almond
  extract, and egg.
  
  For the filling, stir together the maple syrup, almonds, 6 tb pastry
  flour, cinnamon, and melted butter.
  
  Combine dry flour and wet egg mixture and stir just until moist. Put
  into oiled muffin tins, making 3 layers:
  
        1 tb Muffin batter
        1 tb Almond mixture
        1 tb Muffin batter; spread over almond mixture to cover it well
  
  Bake 20 minutes at 400°F.
