Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Instant coffee powder
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant coffee powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to blend the dry ingredients evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, cooled brewed coffee, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender muffins.
If desired, fold in mini chocolate chips for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Enjoy your freshly baked Coffee Lovers Muffins with a cup of coffee or your favorite morning beverage!
