Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Brewed coffee, cooled
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 Eggs
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoons Instant coffee granules (optional, for stronger flavor)
• 0.5 cups Optional: Chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooled brewed coffee, melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk. If using instant coffee granules for a stronger coffee flavor, dissolve them in the liquid mixture as well.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If you're adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter 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.

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 the muffins slightly warm or at room temperature. Pair with a fresh cup of coffee for the ultimate coffee break experience!
