Look at that jumbo muffin!!! And since it is called a “muffin” – you can eat it for breakfast – right? Or warm it up and top with ice cream for dessert after dinner. If you love chocolate, you will want to make these.
But wait – there is more! When I was buying groceries last week, I noticed a new flavor of chocolate chips in the baking aisle – chocolate chips flavored with espresso! So into the cart they went.
They are delicious! If you like coffee and chocolate combined, you will want to try these new chips in your favorite chocolate chip recipe.
My youngest son has a birthday this week, so I decided to make these into birthday treats to share with him. I added a few sprinkles and a candle to one of the muffins to turn it into a birthday muffin. I know he eats much more healthier than I do, but a muffin is better than cake -right? Plus it is much easier to share on the go.
This recipe makes 6 jumbo muffins or 12 regular sized muffins. The recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups chocolate chips. The package has 2 cups of chips, so I mixed 1 1/2 cups of the espresso chips, along with 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips into the batter and then sprinkled the remaining 1/2 cup espresso chips on the top. YUM!
Even graduate students need treats from their Moms! Enjoy and Share!
