A delightful twist on a classic morning treat, blending the comforting flavors of coffee and chocolate into a moist muffin.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups flour
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup miniature chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 Tbsp instant coffee granules
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1 Tbsp sugar (for cream cheese filling)
  • ½ tsp instant coffee granules (for cream cheese filling)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (for cream cheese filling)
  • ¼ cup miniature chocolate chips (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, instant coffee granules, melted butter, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in ¾ cup of miniature chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  6. In a separate small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1 Tbsp sugar, ½ tsp instant coffee granules, and ½ tsp vanilla until smooth.
  7. Spoon muffin batter into prepared muffin tins, filling each well halfway. Add a cube of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each muffin, then top with more batter until filled three-quarters full.
  8. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining ¼ cup miniature chocolate chips.
  9. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days or freeze for up to three months.
