Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding them together with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the muffins stay tender.
Fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped pecans into the batter until evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
