Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee granules until well combined.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine the mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Add the chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill the muffin tin: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake the muffins: 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 a few moist crumbs attached.
- Cool and enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
These Chocolate Chip Coffee Muffins are perfect for coffee lovers who enjoy a little sweetness in their morning routine. The combination of coffee and chocolate in a tender muffin makes for a delightful and satisfying treat any time of the day.
