Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipes - Cappuccino Style

We've tried many Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipes, however, these Cappuccino Muffins are a great variation. This is a quick, easy recipe which works well if you have friends popping in for coffee, or for a decadent breakfast treat. These muffins are also a hit in lunchboxes. The addition of coffee gives them a sophisticated edge. This really is one of the easiest choc chip muffin recipes around.

Ingredients:

2½ cups flour

2½ teaspoons baking powder

4½ oz / 125g / ½ cup butter, melted and cooled

¼ cup brown sugar

4 tablespoons golden syrup

2 eggs lightly beaten

1 cup buttermilk

3 teaspoons good quality instant coffee

1 cup dark choc chips

Optional frosting:

1½ cups icing sugar

1 teaspoon soft butter

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon good quality instant coffee

Method:

Heat the oven to 350° F / 180° C.

Place greased muffin papers in a 12-hole muffin tray.

Combine all the muffin ingredients in a bowl. Mix gently but overbeat as this will produce a heavy muffin.

Divide the mixture between the muffin papers. Bake for about 20 minutes. Check that a skewer inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out just clean. Don't overcook.

Cool the muffins on a wire rack.

For the optional frosting: dissolve 1 teaspoon of instant coffee in 2 teaspoons of boiling water. Then combine the frosting ingredients in a small pan and heat until just under the boil.

Pour the frosting over the muffins and allow to cool.
