Tips:
- You can store the muffins without decoration in a tightly closed container or bag in the refrigerator for a maximum of 1 week. You can also freeze and thaw them when needed – decorate the muffins before serving. Decorated muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- In step 5, you can place a piece of chocolate or fruit in the centre of each muffin. Frozen cherries or bananas are a great choice.
- You can replace almond flour with tapioca, but use 100 g instead of 50 g.
- Almond butter has a neutral taste, so other ingredients come to the fore in this recipe. If desired, you can replace it with your favourite peanut butter from Nature’s Finest and thus enrich the taste – in this case, you can skip the vanilla extract.
- For decoration, you can also prepare mascarpone cream or sweet cream butter, if desired.
