Giant Double Choco-Double Nutty Muffins

I made this one a bit healthier than the original by using whole wheat flour, low fat buttermilk and very little oil.

1 cup flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 egg
2 T vegetable oil
2 t vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1/3 cup whole almonds
sugar for sprinkling (optional)

In a medium bowl, sift together flours, cocoa, sugar, powder, soda and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl stir together buttermilk, egg, oil and vanilla. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet, mixing well. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts.


Preheat oven to 350°. Spray 6 cup muffin pan with cooking spray. Fill muffin cups almost full. Sprinkle almonds evenly atop batter. Sprinkle tops with sugar if using.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d21/d312/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or til a toothpick inserted in the centers of several muffins comes out clean.


Sooo chocolatey and delicious!
