Mocha Muffins

If there’s one thing that never fails to delight at breakfast it’s a good muffin. These mocha muffins are full of rich chocolate and coffee flavor. If you’re thinking these sound like they’ll go perfectly with a cup of joe then you’re quite right. But, they’re so easy and quick to make that you can whip them up in a few minutes.

The next time you’re unsure of what to make at breakfast let these slightly sweet, truly tasty muffins come to the rescue.

To begin making this recipe you’ll need to combine the dry ingredients into a bowl. Then in another bowl combine the milk and a generous amount of instant coffee. For drinking I always make the real stuff, but for baking it’s nice to keep these coffee crystals on hand. And, in a recipe like this one instant tastes amazing.

Once you’ve combine the rest of the wet ingredients with the coffee mixture then mix with the dry ingredients. Then comes the best part: mini chocolate chips. Their diminutive size means that you get little bits of chocolate in each bite.

When these muffins come out of the oven all they need is a bit of butter or cream cheese on top to achieve perfection. It’s such a simple recipe, but the pay-off makes them a great option even when you don’t have all morning to spend baking.
