100% would make again

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 Bassing, Racine, Wisconsin

Directions

  • In a food processor or blender, combine the spread ingredients; cover and process until well blended. Transfer to a small bowl; cover and refrigerate until serving.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl, stir milk and coffee granules until coffee is dissolved. Add butter, egg and vanilla; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 375° for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve with espresso spread. Yield: about 14 muffins (1 cup spread).

Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We 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

Moist, tender and very flavorful muffin. The spread just takes it over the top! You've gotta give these a try.

These are AWESOME! We served quick breads and muffins at my niece's bridal shower and I had many requests for the recipe. Be sure to make the spread to go with them. It is delicious.

These need to be wrapped or put in plastic storage and enjoyed the next day, they will be super moist. You will love this recipe!

These are amazing. So tasty, and not overly coffee or chocolate flavored. My husband, who isn't a cappuccino(or coffee) fan LOVES these!
