Choco Swirl Almond Fudge Muffins

My Choco Swirl Almond Fudge Muffins are the best I have made so far. These are a burst of flavors in the mouth and melts like cotton.

My Banana Chocochip Loaf was a huge hit in the family. The cake was over the same day. Trust me. It was a 10 on 10 recipe and my family was craving more of it. But as we bloggers, keep trying something new, I didnt want to repeat it so early. Then I thought, why not…. But with a twist.

These Choco Swirl Almond Fudge Muffins are extremely moist. They melt in your mouth like cotton candy. And there are alot of flavors incorporated under one. There are almonds, walnuts, chocochips, chocolate pudding and what not. My muffins do sound a little complex but are super easy to make. If you loved my Banana Chocochip Loaf, you are going to love this one too.

Usually, when you use a lot of ingredients in one, there is a possibility of losing out on flavors as all the flavors are mixed. But, these muffins are different. You can easily distinct out each flavor individually. I made two batches of my almond fudge muffins. One was without the chocolate swirl and one was with the chocolate swirl and lots of chocolate chips. Both tasted divine.

P.S- These muffins are extremely addictive.

I doubled my recipe this time, because everyone keeps complaining about the fact that they get over so soon. But, even that didnt help. More han 70 % of my muffins got over the same day. These muffins are that addictive. LOL. So, please make them enough 😛

The muffins are really rich in flavor. As I mentioned you can make them without the chocolate swirl too. I like the addition of chocolate flavor to it. It just enhances the smoothness and taste. Like all my recipes, this one is EGGLESS too.  They are on my hit list. I was surprised as too how easy they were while making but at the same time they tasted effortlessly amazing. I have again used ripe bananas in these muffins to bring out the flavors and moistness of the muffins.  Therefore, if you have an over ripe banana at home do try these muffins.

P.S- Never throw away over ripe bananas, use them in your cakes and muffins to bring moistness and to enhance the flavors.

I have added lots of almonds to my muffins. I crushed the almonds and added them to both my batter and topped my muffins with almonds too. Well if you dont like almonds, you can try walnuts too. The choice is entirely yours. Make them the way you like.
