• Preheat the oven to 160ƒC (325ƒF)

• This recipe makes 12 to 15 little muffins, 6 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in) in diameter

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

• 180 g (6 oz) Valrhona dark chocolate

• 50 g (1/4 cup) oil (with a neutral taste)

• 4 eggs

• 70 g (1/3 cup) sugar

• 70 g (1/4 cup) honey

• 160 g (5-1/2 oz) almonds, finely ground

• 30 g (3 tablespoons) plain flour

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 100 g (1 cup) Muesli cereal

Melt the chocolate in the oil, using either a double boiler or a microwave oven. Using a mixer, beat the eggs. Add sugar, honey, and ground almonds, and continue beating until the mixture is white and frothy. Sift together the flour and baking powder. Lighten the chocolate mixture with a little of the egg mixture, then add it to the remaining egg mixture. Finish by incorporating the sifted ingredients delicately, followed by the cereal.

Pour into small rings placed on a baking sheet or into muffin molds. Bake at 160ƒC (325ƒF) for about 20 minutes or until the point of a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove rings or unmold immediately.
