Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Instant espresso powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, espresso powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

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).

Step 8

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.
