These are my favorite muffins to serve with a cup of coffee or a tall glass of cold milk. Not only are they great for breakfast, they make a tasty dessert or midnight snack. I get lots of recipe requests whenever I serve them. The espresso spread is also super on a bagel. —Janice Schulz, Racine, Wisconsin

Big Batch Baked GoodsWe enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

This is one of my favorites! I do cut the butter to 6 T. and the sugar to 2/3 c. in the muffin portion. You will not be disappointed in these! Delic!

We really enjoyed these muffins. Coffee and chocolate are such a great combo!! Didn't make the spread, we liked the muffins as is.

Very yummy muffins! I didn't think they had a ton of coffee flavour but still really liked them.

I followed the recipe except I used 1T. of baking powder because I had a similar recipe that I liked for blueberry muffins that called for 1T. These were really very good. There seemed to be a lot of butter that came through the paper baking cups on the bottom. I am wondering if we couldn't use a little less butter in the recipe. I tried this recipe so I could bring the muffins as a hostess gift this evening. I will certainly be proud to offer these up.
