Double Chocolate Mocha…Need We Say More?
Why I love baking muffins:
- I don’t have such a sweet tooth, and muffins aren’t as sweet as their cupcake look-a-likes.
- Muffin recipes are easy to tweak to create different flavor combinations.
- They’re a great on-the-go snack to have around.
- I can make them jumbo or mini…they’re so cute when they’re mini!
- Muffins give me a license to eat cake for breakfast.
- The batters come together quickly, which means you can make them fresh in the morning…giving you a yummy reason to jump out of bed!
Now for one of my favorites…

Double Chocolate Mocha Muffins

Batter:
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 ½ cups flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups warm water
- 1 tbsp instant coffee
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a 2 cup measuring cup, add warm water and stir in the instant coffee until dissolved. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the water/coffee mixture, brown sugar, oil, vinegar, vanilla, and eggs. Whisk until just combined, then fold in half of the chocolate chips.
- Scoop batter into the prepared muffin tins and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Bake standard size muffins for 15-17 minutes and jumbo muffins 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
I’m so excited I just made the carrot muffins can’t wait wait to taste them. your recipes are amazing. I’m your newest fan. Thank you

Already made the chocolate muffin.. yum!
Can u please post or send me the carrot recipe.
Thanks
I made the carrot muffins with out all the toppings and they are delicious!! I also used healthier ingredients like spelt flour, monk fruit sweetener and avocado oil still amazing!!
For the chocolate, can you use regular vinegar?
I tried them with plain, they worked fine. Perhaps the red wine vinegar gives a bit more taste? I found the mocha flavour to be very mild and almost not noticeable. I will try them again with 2 T coffee I think. Also I mixed all the chocolate chips into the batter, as I find chocolate chips on top of a muffin get too messy when eaten, especially in the summer. Great moist muffin either way!
These are the best muffins I have ever made by far.
Even my picky high school daughters went crazy over them.
WOW!
Made all of these for mishloach manot. Carrot was the stand out and will definitely make them again! I thought the chocolate muffins were pretty bland, which makes sense given the sugar to flour ratio, but my kids liked them!
Can you please repost the carrot muffin recipe?
wondering the same what is the carrot muffin recipe???
