Savor the deep, robust flavors of chocolate and espresso with these delicious muffins. Ideal as a sweet treat at any time of day or for breakfast. Simple to convert to a gluten-free version with flax eggs and coconut oil.
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup cocoa powder. 2 tsp espresso powder. 1 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted or coconut oil for GF option. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 2 large eggs or flax eggs for GF option. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1 cup milk or non-dairy milk for GF option. 1/2 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or dairy-free.
Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 175C 350F. Grease or use paper liners to line a muffin tin, if preferred. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and espresso powder in a bowl. Melt the butter or coconut oil and thoroughly mix the granulated sugar in a separate bowl. To the wet mixture, add the eggs or flax eggs and vanilla extract, and stir until smooth. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture gradually, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients and alternating with the milk. Blend until barely combined. Mix chocolate chips into batter by folding them in. Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each to about two thirds of the way. When a toothpick is inserted into the center of a muffin, it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached after 18 to 20 minutes of baking in a preheated oven. After taking them out of the oven, let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Savor your Espresso Chocolate Chip Muffins with your preferred beverage or a cup of coffee!
