No guarantees, but these Chocolate Chip-Coffee muffins could possibly be a start to your best day ever. Because that’s what happens when you pair chocolate with coffee into baked goods.
When I made these coffee muffins, Courtney said “what makes them different than cupcakes, other than no frosting?” I didn’t have a good answer for her. I think the lines between cupcake and muffins gets a bit blurred, but I reminded her of her t-shirt that says that muffins are ugly cupcakes. Awww, poor muffins. They really aren’t ugly, but yeah…they aren’t all fancy like a cupcake.
To make Chocolate Chip-Coffee Muffins, you start by combining iced coffee, butter, vanilla extract, and an egg in a small bowl. Then, you combine flour, sugar, chocolate chips, baking powder, and salt in a larger mixing bowl. The coffee mixture is added to the flour mixture.
The batter is divided evenly among 12 muffin cups lined with paper liners.
Bake at 400 degrees F for about 18 minutes and you have these little mocha delights. Great for a quick breakfast or a snack.

Love the coffee concept! Between you and Sugar Loco, I’m going to need 2 extra hours at the gym!

Muffins are ugly cupcakes? Hahaha. That’s applicable to almost anything. Poor muffins. Ah well. They look delicious. I’m going to give them a shot.

chocolate and coffee? two of my favorite worlds colliding!

I am definitely going to have to make these tomorrow. But with iced coffee and cream… I’ve been tempted by that 1/2 gallon of Iced I.D. Coffee in the grocery store (yes, even my small town grocery has all 3 flavors, too!), but I’m holding out… trying to stick to my “two cup a day” rule. 🙂

If you don’t get the International Delight coffee, do look at the original recipe I have linked in the post because instead of the Iced Coffee, you can use 2/3 cup milk and 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules.

Made these this morning, since the kids had a two-hour delay due to icy roads. Very yummy recipe, Brandie – it’s a keeper! Thanks for sharing it.
