Chocolate Almond Muffins Recipe

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease 12 muffin tins, or line with baking cups.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt and 1⅓ cup sliced almonds.

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, almond extract, oil, and egg. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not over stir.

Fill the muffin cups until ⅔ full. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with a pinch of sliced almonds. Pat down lightly so that they stick to the batter.

Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake.
