Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the brewed coffee (cooled to room temperature), vegetable oil, and egg. Whisk thoroughly to blend all wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle additional chopped walnuts or chocolate chips on top of each muffin for extra decoration if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your coffee is cooled to room temperature before mixing to prevent cooking the egg prematurely.
- The Mixing Mantra: Remember the golden rule of muffin-making - mix just until ingredients are combined. Overmixing leads to tough, dense muffins.
- Ingredient Freshness: Use fresh baking powder and high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and rise.
- Customization Hack: Feel free to swap walnuts with pecans or add a sprinkle of espresso powder for an extra coffee kick.
- Storage Secret: To keep muffins fresh, store in an airtight container and consume within 3 days, or freeze for up to a month.
- Serving Suggestion: These muffins are perfect when served slightly warm, allowing the chocolate chips to remain gooey and inviting.
