Christmas Chocolate-Almond Muffins
In the Christmas bakery are many yummy things…. like these delicious chocolate almond muffins! This is my first muffin recipe on my blog, by the way. They are prepared fast, you probably already have most of the ingredients at home and of course you can easily modify them!By the way, almonds are very rich in fibre and are therefore quite filling. They also have a prebiotic effect and regulate our intestinal flora and they are also called "women's fruit". Why? You`ll find the answer below.Have fun baking!
