Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, espresso powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined; avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup 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 or with a few crumbs (melted chocolate is fine).
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 or serve warm.
