Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Instant espresso powder
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Brewed espresso (cooled)
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Coarse sugar for topping

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and instant espresso powder until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the milk, cooled brewed espresso, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for added crunch and sweetness.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
