Serves: 24 mini muffins
Ingredients
  • for the muffins:
  • 2cups all purpose flour
  • ⅔cup granulated sugar
  • 2tsp baking powder
  • ¼tsp kosher salt
  • ⅔cup mini chocolate chips
  • ⅔cup milk
  • 5tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • 2tsp vanilla
  • 1 large egg
  • 1½ tsp espresso powder
  • for the glaze:
  • ⅔cup powdered sugar
  • 2tbsp baileys irish cream (or nonalcoholic coffee creamer)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven 400ºF. Grease a mini muffin pan.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and chocolate chips. In a medium bowl whisk together milk, butter, vanilla, egg and espresso powder.
  3. Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and combine gently until just incorporated. A little flour showing is okay, you want to avoid over mixing more than anything.
  4. Divide evenly into the prepared mini muffin pan. I used a medium ice cream scoop which filled each slot to the top. Bake for 7 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan for at least 5 minutes before removing.
  5. For the glaze combine powdered sugar and Irish cream. Whisk until well incorporated. If too think add a touch more Irish cream, too thin add powdered sugar.
  6. Once muffins are completely cool dip tops into glaze and devour.
