I was so excited to sample the Once Again Organic Amore Almond Spread, as I’m a huge fan of their organic chocolate hazelnut spread. The almond cocoa variety is smooth and delicious and is perfect with a little fruit. Nut butter and fruit seem to go hand in hand, but add a little cocoa to it and GAH – it’s irresistible!

In addition to the Once Again Organic Amore Almond Spread, I was sent the full Once Again nut butter line in an adorable retro metal lunch box! I can’t wait to try the various nut butters and even make my own hummus with the organic tahini!  Once Again Nut Butters are a staple in my pantry because they are pure and natural. They are also sustainably made, non-GMO and certified organic!

They are proud to toot their horn when it comes to Fair Trade, as they belong to the Honest In Trade program – and not many nut butter companies can say that, especially with such a huge variety of offerings.

I am trying to reduce sugar consumption in our household, so I loved making these Chocolate Almond Quick Muffins. The Once Again Organic Amore Almond Spread is sweet (organic sugar), so I simply reduced my sugar addition to this muffins – Stevia would be a great choice to also further reduce the sugar down. Almonds are naturally high in protein, so it’s a great ingredient to add to treats that taste decadent.

Chocolate Almond Butter Quick muffins – Makes 12

I used organic ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar or stevia 
• 1 tablespoon baking powder 
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1/4 cup Once Again Organic Amore Almond Spread with Milk Chocolate
• A handful of chocolate chips

How to Prepare: 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Mix flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl. Beat milk, peanut butter, and eggs in another bowl; stir into the flour mixture, mixing until batter is well blended.
3. Spoon batter evenly into 12 muffin cups. Top with 3 chocolate chips on each muffin. 
4. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. (Do the toothpick test to make sure batter is fully cooked and a toothpick comes out clean)

Serve warm and enjoy! They only take about 20 minutes to make, so they are a fun afterschool treat or for yourself when the kids GO to school. 🙂
