Combine all four ingredients in a small bowl. Incorporate well.

This morning when I was making this muffin I thought a topping would be nice and jazz it up a bit. So the topping is from my Orange Sour Cream Muffin, minus the poppy seed, add almonds. I thought it added a nice texture to the look of the muffin and a sweet crunchy top.
