Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Nut     Dessert     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup butter (2 sticks)
4 oz unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped
2 oz bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
3/4 tsp chili powder
2 tsp espresso powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup molasses
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup amaretto
1 cup ground almonds
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted (preferably dutch process)
2/3 cup mini-semi-sweet chips
confectioners sugar (if desired), for dusting tops

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Grease 4 mini-muffin pans (48 muffins total). Melt butter in microwave (2-3 minutes on 50% power, depending on oven). Stir in chocolate until melted (microwave additional :30 second increments at 50% power if necessary). Stir in chili powder, espresso powder and salt. Beat eggs, and then add sugar and molasses. Beat well. Stir in vanilla and amaretto. Fold in chocolate mixture, then mix in almonds and cocoa powder. Fold in mini-chips. Divide among mini-muffin cups. Bake 15-18 minutes. Dust tops with powdered sugar if desired.

Tips:

  • Use almond flour for a gluten-free option. Almond flour is a great alternative to wheat flour, and it gives these muffins a moist and tender texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough, so be sure to mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature. A moderate temperature will help the muffins rise evenly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These almond mocha muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They're perfect for a quick and easy meal on the go, or for a special occasion. With their moist and tender texture, and their rich and flavorful coffee and almond flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
