How to Make Almond Chocolate Marble Muffins
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt.
- Stir in 1 cup slivered almonds.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a small bowl, combine ½ of the batter with ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of plain batter into each muffin cup.
- Top with 2 tablespoons of chocolate batter.
- Gently swirl the batters together with a knife or toothpick for a marble effect.
- Sprinkle with extra slivered almonds.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
