1
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare muffin pan (I use butter, you can use spray, if you like.).
2
2. Melt butter until soft. (in oven, microwave, or in a small pyrex bowl on the coffee pot warming element. if it's already warm -- but warning those coffee makers really eat the energy/electricity).
3
Add the almond and vanilla extract together with the butter while it's melting for a heavenly scent, adding maple syrup; this allows inredients to infuse, enhancing flavors.
4
3. Once melted, add eggs and milk (All wet ingredients).
5
4. In separate mixing bowl sift flour, cocoa, baking powder,salt.
6
5. Pour dry into wet ingredients, mixing gradually. (Don't forget the eggs if you have the butter, maple syrup, and extracts melted together on their own).
7
6. Fill each muffin holder to about 3/4. Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes, testing with toothpick. (My oven is more efficient than my sisters, so do test)
8
7. Once done, leave in muffin tin for at least 5 minutes before removing from pan.
