Almond & Chocolate Chips Muffins

  
Found this recipe long time ago at Oprah site. Made few changes here and there; replaced cinnamon with cardamom, used almonds in place of pecans, almond extract in place of vanilla and most importantly Chocolate chips which I love to add in my baking goods. The result was very good ... they turned out delicious! Hopefully will be trying more variations :)
