Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Instant espresso powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, instant espresso powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.
Sprinkle the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the tops of the muffins.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 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 the muffins slightly warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
