      Thanks, Rebecca! I can't believe I didn't have a muffin recipe on the blog already (only some cupcake recipes). I love muffins and I make them a lot more often than cupcakes! Weird.. I'll have to post more of these in the future :) Now with the colder temperatures, I really enjoy baking again.

      Thank you, Natalie! I really like marzipan too, although I eat it mostly during the christmas time. I recently tried store-bought pistachio marzipan and it was delicious. I want to try a homemade (and maybe even healthier) version :)

    This look sooo delicious! The only time I have had marzipan was when I made some when I was like, 8...I don't think I followed the recipe very well, because it really didn't taste nice, haha. I will have to try again (and then make these muffins :D).

      Thanks Kyra! Wait.. you made marzipan when you were 8? I've never actually tried making marzipan myself, but I want to give it a try!

        Hahaha I was a weird child I guess! The recipe was in a kids craft & cooking book, which had photograph step-by-step instructions. But like I said, it didn't turn out very nice haha :D

          weird? You were such a cool kid! I didn't start cooking until I was like 14-15. I went vegetarian and my mum served me a sieved/strained bolognese sauce. That was the start of my cooking career =D hahaha

    These look soooo good Bianca! Adding marzipan is such an amazing idea, wow!! One of my readers made my chocolate cinnamon muffins and added a huge dollop of marzipan on top, which blew me away...and now seeing these I'm craving marzipan! I need to get some and create something. These are just beautiful!

      Thank you so much Brandi! Chocolate + Cinnamon + Marzipan sounds like a divine combination! I love it when readers add their own personal touch to recipes. It's the coolest thing ever when recipes evolve ^.^

    Yummy! These look super good Bianca :) I'm intrigued by the rice syrup - I have to try that!

      Thank you Lucie! The rice syrup is great, although it's a bit less sweet than other liquid sweeteners (agave, maple,..). But the rice syrup is free of fructose, so that's why I'm using it :)
