java CHIPP muffinsss!

long story :) but this is my own recipe, my first in fact. im pretty stoked about it although id definitely change a few things. its kind of based off of java chip frapp from starbucks haha.

so me and my boyfriend DALTON totally both get creddddd for baking these delights. we made them this morning before school because we had a late start today. :) 

so i just used a typical chocolate muffin recipe and incorporated espresso beans and chocolate 60% cocoa ghirardelli barrrr.

i put espresso beans into a food processor and chopped them up a little bit. not like till its ground i wanted some legit chunks. then i melted chocolate and pourreddd it over the beans and mixeddd and they acted like chocolate chips. although i put ALOT in so next time i think ill do more chocolate and less of the whole in general. because it wasnt very muffiny because you would just get a mouth full of crunchhh. so deffff changeing that.

so we were at starbucks and i got a blueberry muffin and the crumble on top was just about the greatest thing in the WORLDDD. so i haddd to put it on my java chip muffinss!

so heres la recipe.

JAVA CHIP MUFFINS

by sharden grimm

ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup milk

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 cup of chocolate covered chopped espresso beans

( use less so about 1/2 or a 1/3)

preheat oven to 350 degreeeess F.

line muffin tin with liners. i used parchment paper to create a cute little holder type deal. i also used a jumbo muffin pan which made 6. spray the liners with cooking spray otherwise muffins WILL STICK. 

whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt, alll theee dry ingredients! in another bowl lightly whisk the eggs, then whisk in the melted butter, brown sugar, milk, oil and vanilla.

quickly fold the wet ingredients into the dry with a rubber spatula or whatever you desiree. just before completely mixed add in the espresso beans.

Espresso Beans WITH chocolate! :

neeeedd

espresso beans 

(depends on how much you are using as i said id change it.)

a whole bar of ghirardelli 60% cocoa bar 

you can find this in the baking chocolate isle.

pour your amount of espresso beans into a food processor and blend for about a minute or into about 1/4 of the bean or what you'd prefer.

next melt the chocolate in a double boiler. let cool for a few minutes.

pour beans into the chocolate and mix.  let cool till hardened.

cut into chunks and put in the processor. blend till nice size chunks.

Crumble Topping:

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

in a bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter, and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping over each muffin and bake until golden brown, until the muffins are done.
