Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Brewed coffee (cooled)
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, instant coffee granules, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the whole milk, brewed coffee, dark rum, melted butter, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be lumpy but no dry streaks of flour should remain.

Step 5

Using a scoop or spoon, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature with coffee or tea. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
