In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the almond milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat just until combined.

Melt the toffee bits in a double boiler or in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
