I 

mmm… good!  Good enough to merit an unsolicited text from my sweetheart who took one to work for a snack.
 

 
 

Coffee-Break Muffins

 
Baking From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan

PRINT RECIPE
12 muffins

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup strong coffee, cooled
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled (1 stick)
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation

Position oven rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°; butter or spray 12 regular-size muffin cups in muffin pan; place muffin pan on baking sheet.

In a big bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, espresso powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Stir in the brown sugar, making sure there are no lumps.

In a large glass measuring cup, whisk the coffee, melted butter, egg, and vanilla until combined.

Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and, with a whisk, gently but quickly stir to blend; don’t worry about being thorough, a few lumps are better than over-mixing the batter.

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.

Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a pick comes out clean.
Transfer pan to a rack and cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing each muffin from its mold.

Serving Size 1 muffins @Calories 196 (without added chocolate chips)

 

RECIPE NOTES:
I added chocolate chips to the batter and a light glaze on top.
