Banana Amaretto Muffins

1 ½ cups flour
1 ¼ cups slivered almonds
2 tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2/3 cup softened butter
2/3 cup sugar + 1tsp (divided)
3 Tbsp amaretto
1 mashed banana
2 oz chocolate flakes (I put 2 Baker's semisweet chocolate squares in the food processor)


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the flour, almonds, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Beat eggs, 2/3 cup sugar, vanilla, and amaretto until foamy, and slowly add butter. Mix in the flour mixture, then add the banana and chocolate flakes. Fill muffin forms 2/3 full and bake about 20 minutes. When you get them out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the remaining tsp of sugar on top.
