chocolate coffee toffee muffins
 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1½ cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • Topping:
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ cup toffee bits
  • 2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F and line muffin tin with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Pour the batter mixture into the flour mixture and fold gently to combine- being careful not to over-mix. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  3. Using a large ice-cream scoop, divide batter into muffin liners. (Recipe yields about 21 muffins).
  4. To make topping:
  5. In a small bowl combine the flour, sugar and toffee bits. Cut the butter into the mixture, creating a coarse and crumbly texture. Sprinkle about a tablespoon over each muffin before baking.
  6. Bake 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick can be inserted and is clean when removed.
  7. Let cool on cooling rack before devouring.
