Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Instant espresso powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Brewed coffee (strong, cooled)
• 0.33 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup 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 lightly grease the cups with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, espresso powder, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, brewed coffee, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

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.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Marvelous Mocha Muffins with your favorite coffee or tea!
