How to Make Chocolate Almond Muffins
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour(s), sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: melted butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chopped almonds and chocolate chips.
- Fill the muffin liners about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick 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.
- 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.
