These are THE best.
There’s not much more I can say. There really isn’t much more that I HAVE to say. But I’ll pick a few of my favorite words and leave the rest up to you:
Muffins. Quick. Easy. Moist. Delicious. Crowd-favorite. Coffee. Chocolate. Tender. Addictive. PERFECT.
Are you getting the picture? I hope so.
I have horrible luck with muffins. Every recipe that I’ve tried has turned out to be a bit disappointing, texturally. I end up with either a dense and heavy crumb or a light and airy crumb that’s too reminiscent of cake. But these, these babies are what all muffins should strive to be.
An espresso flavored dough studded with chocolate chips (my own addition) makes for the perfect breakfast treat or mid-afternoon snack with a wonderful cup of coffee. Both the fiancé and I took these to work and they didn’t last.
First thing in the morning I was greeted with two texts: one stating that this is the best thing I’ve ever made and another asking if the muffins were laced with crack, because they were addictive. Need any more incentive to make these? I didn’t think so 😉
Head on over to Rhiani of Chocoholic Anonymous‘ blog for the recipe (click here) or buy the book, I promise you’ll love it! And be sure to check out the other TWD bakers’ opinions/variations on this great muffin!
Up next week: Tarte Fine. Baked apples!! I LOVE baking french pastries. I walk around my kitchen dictating the recipe (to myself) in a crummy french accent. Oh the joys of baking 😉

Yum these look incredible! Im so glad everyone liked them and that’s funny someone thought they were laced with crack! Im glad they turned out so good for you! Im going to try the coffee version next!
Those muffins look fabulous! And you added chocolate, too. Me too…so good!!
I love your pictures and we loved the muffins too.
I loved them too! Might have to add some chocolate next time…
Yours look fabulous! I wanted to like these but I just didn’t. Maybe next time I’ll steal your idea and add some chocolate chips!
cute liners! very feminine and pretty. and the muffins have a nice little peak too1
Well, I’m always looking for new muffin recipes, but the way you described these definitely sold me! I’m not even in the TWD group and I find myself either making or wanting to make half the things I see you guys making!
If you love coffee and muffins… these are the ones for you! You won’t regret it! Some additions I’ve seen are chocolate chips, toffee bits, oatmeal crumble on top, simple milk/sugar glaze… but these are great alone if you are a purist 😉
Yum those look super moist and delicious
Your muffins look really fabulous. These had a wonderful texture – I thought they were soft and almost silky!
Beautiful photos, Jeannette! You got some great compliments this week! I loved these muffins.
Your muffins look beautiful, I’m glad they were a hit!
Lovely photos of those yummy muffins. These are definitely a keeper!
Hey just read your message on my blog..I wanted to tell you I got the yellow mixing bowl aout 8 years ago at Target! It’s my favorite!
yours do look super moist! i added choc chips too 🙂
Love the liners! 🙂 Felt the same way about these – super yummy!!
Yours look delish! So moist!
Ciao ! i loved them so much too ! very happy when a recipe so simple as such a success !
How adorable they are in your cupcake liners! These were a big hit here, too.
LOVE your muffin cups! Totally cute and yep I totally missed the boat by following the recipe to the letter. For some reason I do that as a standard of measure. These just call out (scream out) for chocolate. What was I thinking?
Great job and thanks a million for your kind words. Awesome job.

I was busting up laughing over the muffins laced with crack comment! Your muffins “do” look moist and perfect! Love your pictures showing just how perfect the muffins baked up too.
You know, your mocha-ccino is pretty close to what Pierre would have called the coffee hot chocolate if a coffee shop were to make a cup of this. Now that I have read your twist, I can not for the life of me remember how Pierre called it. I’m going to have to go look before the thought drives me over the edge =).
They look like perfect muffins to me. I debated between using chocolate chips or cinnamon chips. I chose the cinnamon, but either one would be delicious. Glad they worked out for you.
Coffee or no coffee, this recipes makes some good muffins! Yours do look perfect. Glad you loved them.
i love muffins. i love them even more when they’re coffee-flavored. these look great!
Love that your pictures make this look like a great summertime treat.
BTW, your comment on my blog about weirdness made my day!
I agree- these muffins were amazing!
Those look like the best! They look so chocolatey and moist.
I love it that you added chocolate chips for texture. I wished I had thought of that. Your muffins look wonderful!
THOSE look wonderful!!! Love the added chips.
