Cashew Nut Butter Chocolate Chunk Muffins Recipes

GIANT FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CASHEW MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
• Microwave the cashew butter in 30-second increments until it is slightly warm and easy to stir.
• Beat together the cashew butter and eggs with an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla, baking soda and salt until the mixture is smooth, thick and glossy (like a brownie batter).
• Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin and bake until the muffins puff up, the tops are cracked and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
