Flourless choc muffins

Flourless chocolate muffins are a delightful treat for those who crave rich, chocolatey goodness without the need for flour. These muffins are easy to make and perfect for anyone on a gluten-free diet or simply looking to enjoy a decadent dessert. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these moist, flavorful muffins in no time.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup dark chocolate
170g
1/2 cup butter
110g
3 eggs
150g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1/2 cup almonds
60g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Muffin Tin:
Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
3. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Melt them together using a double boiler or in the microwave. If using the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
4. Process the Almonds:
Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse until you get a fine powder. Be careful not to over-process, as it can turn into almond butter.
5. Beat the Eggs and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Combine the Ingredients:
Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, beating on low speed until well combined. Then, add the ground almonds and fold gently until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
7. Fill the Muffin Tin:
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
8. Bake:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
9. Cool:
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
Enjoy your flourless chocolate muffins once they have cooled. They are delicious on their own, but you can also dust them with powdered sugar or serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.

Tips:

- Make sure to finely grind the almonds to achieve a smoother texture for the muffins.

- Use high-quality dark chocolate to enhance the flavor of your muffins.

- Allow the muffins to cool completely before removing them from the tin to prevent them from breaking apart.

- For an extra touch of flavor, add a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract to the batter.

- Store the muffins in an airtight container to keep them fresh for several days.
