Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- 0.75 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder until well combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips, making sure they are coated with the dry mixture to prevent them from sinking while baking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, coffee, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with a few crumbs (but no wet batter).
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your indulgent Killer Mocha Muffins with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of milk!
