Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Brewed coffee, cooled
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Instant coffee granules (optional, for stronger flavor)
- 0.5 cups Optional: Chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooled brewed coffee, melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk. If using instant coffee granules for a stronger coffee flavor, dissolve them in the liquid mixture as well.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
If you're adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins slightly warm or at room temperature. Pair with a fresh cup of coffee for the ultimate coffee break experience!
