How to Make Almond Joy Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin with paper liners or grease generously.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup milk, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in ½ cup sour cream until the batter is smooth.
  6. Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, and ½ cup toasted slivered almonds. Mix until evenly distributed.
  7. Fill each muffin cup ¾ full. Sprinkle the tops with additional chocolate chips, almonds, and coconut.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

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.
