How to Make Chocolate Almond Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour(s), sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: melted butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chopped almonds and chocolate chips.
  6. Fill the muffin liners about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For a Valentine's Day presentation: Place each muffin on a small plate lined with a paper doily. Sprinkle with red sugar for an elegant touch.
