Recipe for super soft and moist cappuccino muffins with chocolate chips and a delicious coffee flavor. Perfect for breakfast or a coffee break. Makes 12 muffins.


Ingredients

Cappuccino muffins

  • 300 g all-purpose flour (2 1/2 cups)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 130 g vegetable oil, neutral (2/3 cup, sunflower oil)
  • 50 g granulated sugar (1/4 cup)
  • 100 g brown sugar (1/2 cup)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp instant coffee powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 250 ml buttermilk (1 cup)
  • 150 g chocolate chips (1 cup)

Coffee sugar glaze

  • 120 g icing sugar (1 cup)
  • 1 tsp instant coffee
  • 12 tsp water
  • Vanilla extract, optional

Instructions

Cappuccino muffins

  1. Preheat the oven to 428°F (220°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and instant coffee. Mix for about 3 minutes until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the buttermilk and mix again until incorporated.
  4. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix gently just until a thick, smooth batter forms.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips or chocolate chunks.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin liners, filling them completely. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
  7. Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 374°F (190°C) and continue baking for 10–15 minutes, until the muffins are risen and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool slightly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Coffee sugar glaze

  1. In a small bowl, mix the icing sugar with the instant coffee dissolved in 1 teaspoon of water. Add more water a few drops at a time if needed until smooth.
  2. Drizzle over the cooled muffins and serve.

Notes

Storage: Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter.
  • Do not overmix after adding the flour to keep the muffins soft.
  • Fill the muffin liners completely for tall bakery-style tops.
  • The high-to-low oven temperature helps create a domed muffin top.
