Let cool for 3-4 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, process almonds and flour in a food processor until nuts are finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl; whisk in 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons, (approximately 26 tbsp) powdered sugar. Add egg whites; mix until smooth. Fold in honey.
4. Fold browned butter into batter. DO AHEAD: Batter can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
5. Arrange a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 375F. Coat muffin cups with nonstick spray. Pour 1 generous tablespoon batter into each prepared muffin cup. Top with 3-4 blackberry halves. Bake until cakes are golden brown and just cooked through, 15-16 minutes.
6. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pan. Serve warm or at room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
