Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and instant espresso powder until evenly combined.
In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for a crunchy, sweet topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these decadent Cappuccino Chocolate Chunk Muffins with your favorite cup of coffee!
