These java chip muffins are stuffed with chocolate chips, scented with espresso, and topped with a coffee streusel.

Ingredients

For the muffins:

  • ½ cup (113 gm) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1–1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup (50 gm) sugar
  • ¾ cup (150 gm) brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons espresso powder
  • 1–3/4 cup (230 gm) all-purpose flour
  • 2–1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

For the crumble:

  • ½ cup (100 gm) brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour 
  • 2 teaspoons espresso powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

For the glaze (totally optional):

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons coffee

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a 12-compartment muffin tin with liners. In a large bowl, stir together the butter, milk, vanilla, and egg. Add the sugars and stir to combine. Add the espresso, flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring just to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips. Use a large cookie scoop to fill the muffin tin. Each liner will be about 2/3 of the way full. 
  2.  
  3. In a separate bowl, toss together the brown sugar, flour, and espresso powder for the crumble. Use the backs of two forks to cut in the softened butter until it has pea-sized clumps throughout. Sprinkle the crumble on top of the muffin batter. Bake in the preheated oven for about 17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  4. In the meantime, whisk together the powdered sugar and coffee until combined. Add more coffee to thin out or more sugar to thicken to your desired consistency. Drizzle on top of the cooled muffins and enjoy!
