   1                cup  whole cranberries -- fresh or frozen

Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 25 min
Yield: 12 muffins

These muffins prove that any time of day is a good time for 
chocolate. Use an ice cream scoop to fill the muffin cups to achieve 
beautiful rounded tops. Almond flour gives them a rich flavor and 
moist texture; it is simply finely ground almonds, which you could 
make yourself in a food processor. To give these muffins sparkle and 
color, sprinkle them with coarse sugar and a few pinches of chopped pistachios.

If you have trouble finding frozen cranberries at the store, frozen 
raspberries would make a good substitute.

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, 
cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Make a large well in the center of the bowl and break the eggs into 
it. Add the honey, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla. Beat with a fork to 
mix thoroughly. With a spatula, stir until the flour is well incorporated.

Using the ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup, rounded side up, 
with about 1/3 cup batter.

Sprinkle the muffins with the turbinado sugar and pistachios, and set 
the tin on a baking sheet.

Bake for 23 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the 
center of a muffin comes out with just a few crumbs.

Set the muffin tin on a rack to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the 
muffins from the pan and cool on the rack.
