    Double Chocolate Muffins (& debates)

    5 Comments

    · by Amanda Gajdosik

    The glass partition between the brewery and bar slid open. Ryan, the head brewer, poked his head out, “So…uh…what’s the difference…?”

    “There’s no frosting on top,” I said, without glancing up. I knew exactly what he was going to ask. Because it’s a question I’ve wrestled with before. How is a muffin different than a cupcake? Especially when it’s chocolate. And has chocolate chips in it.

    The answer? No frosting. Frosting isn’t a breakfast food. Muffins are. Chocolate can be. When it’s in a muffin.

    Right?

    Right.

    Double Chocolate Muffins (makes 1 dozen)

    1 ½ cups flour

    ¼ cup cocoa powder

    ½ cup granulated sugar

    1 tsp. baking powder

    ½ tsp. salt

    ½ tsp. espresso powder

    ½ cup mini chocolate chips

    1 cup buttermilk

    4 tablespoon butter, melted and cooled

    1 egg

    1 tsp. vanilla extract

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a muffin tin with baking spray and set aside.

    Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt, espresso, and chocolate chips in a medium bowl and set aside.

    In a large, glass measuring cup whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour into dry ingredients and gently fold together.

    Using a large scoop, divide batter evenly among pan and bake in preheated over for 10 – 12 minutes, until tops of muffins bounce back when gently pressed.

    Remove from oven and allow to cool until easy to handle.

    Muffins are best if served the same day.
