Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Brewed coffee (cooled)
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick oil spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, instant coffee granules, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the whole milk, brewed coffee, dark rum, melted butter, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be lumpy but no dry streaks of flour should remain.
Using a scoop or spoon, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
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.
Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature with coffee or tea. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
