- 2 Eggs
- 50 milliliters Coffee
- 50 milliliters Milk
- 80 milliliters Vegetable Oil

- 200 grams All-Purpose Flour
- 90 grams Granulated Sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
Add-ins and Toppings
- Chocolate Chips (to taste)
- Brown Sugar (to taste, for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking your muffins evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 50 milliliters of coffee, 50 milliliters of milk, and 80 milliliters of vegetable oil until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together 200 grams of all-purpose flour, 90 grams of granulated sugar, and 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder to ensure even distribution and remove lumps.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in chocolate chips to your liking to add bursts of chocolate flavor throughout the muffins.
- Prepare Muffin Tins: Line muffin tins with paper liners or lightly grease them. Pour the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle brown sugar on top of each muffin to create a sweet, caramelized crust when baked.
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with your favorite cup of coffee or tea.
