Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup toasted almonds, sliced
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil or 1/3 cup almond oil
1 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
additional chopped almonds
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400*F.
Have ready 12 greased or paper-lined standard-size muffin cups.
In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; add the almonds.
In another bowl, combine the milk, oil, and egg; add to the flour mixture just until moist.
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 the batter and the cocoa powder.
Spoon the plain batter evenly into one side of the muffin cups; add the chocolate batter to the other side.
Gently marbelize the batters; sprinkle with additional almonds.
