CHOCOLATE CHIP-COFFEE MUFFINS

Every bite of these muffins are loaded with the robust flavors of coffee and chocolate.  So, if you're like me and enjoy the flavor of coffee, beyond the typical liquid version, then you're going to love these!

I fell in love with these silicone muffin cups years ago.  So easy to use and no messy muffin tin to clean up.

INGREDIENTS:

2/3 cup whole milk

5 Tbsp. melted butter

3 Tbsp. instant coffee granules

1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract

1 large egg, lightly beaten

9 oz. all-purpose flour (about 2 cups)

2/3 cup sugar

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. salt

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.   Combine first five ingredients.  Spoon flour into measuring cup; level with a knife.  Combine flour and next four ingredients in a large bowl.  Stir together with a whisk.  Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.

Add milk mixture to the flour mixture; stir just until moist.

Spoon batter into 12 muffin cups (if you are just using the tin, be sure to use cooking spray).  Bake at 400 degrees for 18 minutes or until done.  

Enjoy!
