These light and fluffy muffins are the perfect excuse to have chocolate for breakfast!
There was this huge strawberry sale at my local grocery store where 1 pound of strawberries cost $0.88 so I ended up buying 4 pounds. Then 2 days later I found out that the sale was ending that day so I went back and bought 4 more pounds. I know it sounds crazy but you could never have too many strawberries, right?
So with the ample amount of strawberries that took over the fridge, I ended up making these strawberry espresso chocolate chip muffins. It has a strong coffee muffin base chockfull of fresh strawberries and mini chocolate chips. I was a bit concerned with the marriage of coffee with strawberries but surprisingly enough, coffee and strawberry go very well together. Throw in some chocolate and there you’ll have a perfect breakfast muffin to substitute your morning coffee.
So here’s how you make these awesome muffins:
As always, we’ll start with the dry ingredients.
Then we’ll whisk together the wet ingredients – butter, coffee, both sugars, egg and vanilla extract.
Stir in the wet to dry ingredients, being careful not to overwork the batter.
Next we’ll add the strawberries and mini chocolate chips.
Give it a good stir.
Then divide them up evenly into the muffin cups and pop them into a 400 degree F oven for about 16-18 minutes.
Let them cool a bit before digging in. Or you can eat them warm. I had 2 as soon as they came out of the oven.
