Steps:

• 1. For the topping, place the almonds and the coconut in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the almonds are roughly chopped. Pour the mixture into a small bowl and stir in the chocolate chips; set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. and line muffin pans with cupcake liners (there should be enough batter for 18).

Microwave on high for 20-25 seconds or until the mixture is at room temperature. Stir in the melted butter and the almond extract.

Sprinkle the topping evenly over each muffin. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched.
