Giant Flourless Chocolate Cashew Muffins image

I love to make these in a giant muffin pan (that holds six, instead of the usual 12) for a fabulous oversized muffin, but you can also make them in a regular muffin tin or even a loaf pan.

Time 40m

Yield Makes 6 giant muffins (or 12 regular muffins)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups smooth cashew butter, slightly warmed
5 large eggs
2/3 cup maple syrup or honey
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt

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.
