Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper or Silicone Mat
- Medium-sized bowl
- Spoon
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.33 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2-3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Stuffing
- 4 frozen Dubai Chocolate Cups (or pieces of a frozen Dubai chocolate bar)
Instructions
- Step 1: Get Ready! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, sea salt, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Stir everything together well to ensure an even mix.
- Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients. Pour the egg, vanilla extract, almond milk, and olive oil into the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until a thick batter forms. Don't try to thin it out; a thicker batter helps create beautiful domed muffin tops.
- Step 4: Assemble Your Muffin Tops. Spoon approximately 1 large tablespoon of the batter onto your prepared baking sheet for each muffin top. Then, place one of your frozen Dubai Chocolate Cups (or a piece of frozen Dubai chocolate bar) directly on top of each batter dollop.
- Step 5: Cover and Shape. Gently spoon another 1 to 2 tablespoons of batter over each chocolate cup, making sure it's completely covered. Use the back of your spoon or a butter knife to carefully smooth the batter, ensuring the chocolate is fully encased.
- Step 6: Bake to Perfection. Carefully place the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let them bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
- Step 7: Cool Down. Once baked, remove the muffin tops from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. This cooling step is important for the chocolate center to solidify nicely, making for a perfect bite.
- Step 8: Enjoy Your Healthy Treat! Serve these delicious muffin tops as they are for a simple, delightful snack, or for an extra special touch, you can spread a little pistachio butter on top, drizzle with melted dark chocolate, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
