Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Espresso powder
- 0.75 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Brewed strong coffee (cooled)
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the cups if not using liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder until well combined.
Stir in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
In another medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, cooled brewed coffee, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; stir just until no streaks of flour remain.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
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 only a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Dark Mocha Muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy with your favorite coffee or tea.
