Chocolate Almond Butter Muffins

I love muffins. Always have, always will. I can remember baking a batch of muffins all by myself as a kid and feeling oh so proud. I followed the directions on the back of blue Jiffy muffin mix box, carefully adding each ingredient, combining them, and evenly dividing them into the muffin tins. Waiting for the timer to go off surely felt like an eternity (in reality I think the bake time is 9-11 minutes or something like that), and waiting for them to cool likely tested my patience. In reality, they were probably nothing special, but I’m sure that I loved them.

Just last week I was telling my husband that I was craving a muffin and he responded with “a muffin?! Who craves a muffin?” I do, that’s who! While he thinks a muffin is just a sad cupcake, I’d choose one over a donut any day!

This recipe is a super simple one! It uses basic ingredients you likely already have on hand and only requires one mixing bowl, so cleanup is nice and easy too!
