Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Instant espresso powder
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Brewed espresso (cooled)
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and instant espresso powder until evenly mixed.
In a medium bowl, combine the milk, cooled brewed espresso, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake 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 allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
