These are delicious little bite sized morsels of mocha. Easy to make, fun to eat and great for any occasion.

First, they're very tasty. Now the bad news. This is not a muffin, it's a cupcake. 1 star knocked off for false advertising. Cupcakes have butter and sugars creamed together first. Muffins...never. I didn't know this until I made these, expecting to get muffins. I have an amazing Wilton non-stick mini muffin pan. I've never used paper liners for muffins and they pop out perfectly. These stuck to the pan...so another star knocked off. I will try a different MUFFIN recipe and add choc chips & coffee.

With a couple of changes to the recipe these were absolutely perfect. I reduced the sugar to 2 tbsp of brown and 1/4c minus 1 tablespoon of white sugar. I used a full egg and doubled the amount of coffee. I also only baked them for 11 minutes and they were perfectly moist. Next time I think I'll add a little almond or hazelnut flavour too, so it will be a latte muffin!

These went over very well with the people I made these for. I don't make instant coffee so I found a one serving size of instant cafe mocha in a foil packett at the store. ( I think it was made by Swiss Miss) Anyway, I used that and they came out great. I will make this again and again. Thanks.

I am giving this recipe 4 stars because, like others, I followed the recipe exactly and the muffins did not come out of the muffin tin intact. They crumbled horribly. I made the following changes with perfect results. I doubled the recipe (because I needed a lot). Instead of two egg yolks, I used two whole eggs; I added 1/4 cup extra flour for the doubled recipe (I think that would be 2 Tbsp extra per single recipe); and instead of mixing in the mini chocolate chips, I sprinkled them ON TOP after the batter was in the muffin pans. I used about 1 Tbsp of batter per muffin. The flavor of these muffins is outstanding and the added flour and egg didn't even change the texture a bit. Hope this is helpful.

These did not work for me. I think these really need to be made with paper liners because they just crumbled when I tried to take them out of the pan. They batter seemed to come out just fine, and they baked well, rising just the right amount. I let them cool as directed, but when I went to remove them, they just fell apart. I tried leaving some in the pan a little longer, but those also crumbled. Sorry - won't be trying again.

First off, I doubled the recipe and then added 1/3 more coffee granules so a full 2T. Didn't have quick oats just used regular cooking oats and let them soak longer in the coffee. I too wanted to cut the sugar a bit so I removed 2T from the 1/2 c measure. Used 2 full eggs without texture issues. Into the 1c to measure the flour I used about 2T almond meal and 2T ww pastry flour and the rest all-pupose flour. The chips I had were regular sized so I zipped them in the Ninja processor along with some dried cherries I had left. They were plenty sweet for me. Next time will sprinkle the tops with a combination of turbinado or raw sugar mixed with some more coffee granules to increase and layer more of the coffee flavor. I love coffee.

I followed this recipe as written but with a whole egg. While these have a tender texture, are perfectly moist, and have a nice chocolate flavor, I was disappointed in the lack of mocha flavor. It was strong in the batter, but after baking~ was gone. I might be inclined to make them again and double the amount of coffee granules. Every bite was dominated by the chocolate chips, so that also might have been a contributing factor.

Awesome little muffin! Oh so chocolately with just the right amount of coffe flavor - a perfect sweet little treat! I used slightly less than 1/3 cup of boiling water, added the instant coffee and then added some coffee liqueur to make up the difference (about 1 Tbsp.) I added 1/4 c. + 2 Tbsp. of mini chocolate chips to the batter which was more than plenty. I topped them off with a little turbinado sugar before popping them into the oven at 355 for 15 minutes. That provided a little extra crunch which was really nice!

These muffins are good, I made a batch and took them to work and they were gone very quickly with good comments back. After reading the reviews and the comments about them being a little dry, I added about 1/4 cup of applesauce and they were very moist. Thanks for sharing Tina.
