Description
Try this muffin recipe from Chef Dan that’s not only good for you, but is also full of decadent mocha and espresso flavor! Prefer just mocha? You can easily swap in our Coconut Mocha Creamer for the coffee for an extra creamy boost. (Makes 12 standard size muffins)
1 ½ cups whole wheat (or gluten-free all-purpose) flour OR 1 cup finely-ground blanched almond meal and ½ cup oat flour or buckwheat flour OR 1 ½ cups 1:1 gluten-free flour blend
Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a muffin tin with baking spray or line with muffin liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together coconut oil, coconut sugar, eggs, strong brewed coffee or espresso, maple syrup, and vanilla until well combined.
In a separate, smaller bowl, combine whole wheat flour (or GF swap), cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, Super Grounds, and salt.
Into the large bowl, add half of your dry flour mixture to the large bowl with your wet ingredients, followed by half of the Coconut Mocha Super Coffee or Creamer, then the remaining flour and finally the remaining Coconut Mocha Super Coffee or Creamer, stirring well after each addition.
Fill muffin tin until each well is ⅔ full and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean and muffins are risen. Set aside to fully cool, then add toppings as desired.
Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
