Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons Boiling water
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 0.75 cup Dark brown sugar (packed)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Pecans (chopped, for praline topping)
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar (for praline topping)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for praline topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in the boiling water. Allow it to cool slightly.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the room-temperature butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the cooled coffee mixture, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until everything is coated evenly.
Sprinkle the praline topping mixture over the batter in each muffin cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
