Almond Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe
Soft, nutty muffins packed with crunchy almonds and rich chocolate, delivering the perfect mix of indulgence and just enough “healthy” vibes.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup chopped almonds
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Heat it to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin or grease well.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, and milk.
- Combine everything: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently—overmixing leads to rubbery muffins.
- Add almonds and chocolate chips: Stir them in, resisting the urge to eat them straight from the bowl.
- Fill the muffin tin: Divide batter evenly, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake: Place in the oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool & enjoy: Let them cool for 5 minutes before devouring. No judgment if you eat three in one sitting.

Tips for Extra Flavor

- Sprinkle sliced almonds on top before baking for extra crunch.
- Use almond extract instead of vanilla for an even stronger nutty taste.
