Mocha Chocolate-Chip Muffins
CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and more for sprinkling on top
  • 3 Tbsp good quality cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup strong coffee, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup, plus 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
  1. Sift all dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  2. In a large measuring cup, mix all wet ingredients.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir ONLY till moistened. It's very important not to over-mix quick breads, such as muffins, or they can get very tough.
  4. Line a muffin tin with paper liners and fill with batter. I wanted substantial size muffins, and to wash only one tin, so I squeezed all the batter into just 12 muffin cups, but if I had cut back a little in each, I could have easily gotten about 4 to 6 more muffins.
  5. I sprinkled with some of the remaining chocolate chips and then baked for 18 minutes in a 400 degree oven.
