Recipe created by me - Chocolate Almond Muffins

Since I've been doing this I've naturally been experimenting with recipes. Low fat, low carb, high flavour.

Here's the first big success (more will come)

Nicole's Chocolate Almond Muffins

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup oats
1/3 cup + 1 tbsp Granulated Splenda (for baking)
3 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tbsp oil
1/2 cup skim milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup cocoa
1 tbsp instant coffee
1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup sliced, blanched almonds

Preheat oven to 375.

Mix dry ingredients (except chocolate chips and almonds) together in a large bowl. Add wet itens. Mix in thoroughly. Fold in chips and almonds.

Spoon mixture into cups in muffin tin. IMPORTANT. Wait until they've had a chance to cool or they'll stick to the paper.

Makes 12 muffins.
