Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Instant espresso powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Brewed coffee (strong, cooled)
- 0.33 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, espresso powder, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, brewed coffee, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Marvelous Mocha Muffins with your favorite coffee or tea!
