Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cups Strong brewed coffee (cooled)
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Irish whiskey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, cooled coffee, milk, egg, Irish whiskey, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well.

Step 5

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. The batter may be slightly lumpy, which is fine.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each 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.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, lightly dust the muffins with powdered sugar before serving.
