Ingredients for Almond Chocolate Marble Muffins

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

How to Make Almond Chocolate Marble Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt.
  3. Stir in 1 cup slivered almonds.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, combine ½ of the batter with ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  7. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of plain batter into each muffin cup.
  8. Top with 2 tablespoons of chocolate batter.
  9. Gently swirl the batters together with a knife or toothpick for a marble effect.
  10. Sprinkle with extra slivered almonds.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
