Cappuccino Muffins

is it just me or does anyone else consistently forget how to spell "cappuccino"?
anyway, my friend kelly gave me this recipe and oh! they are delicious!
they have all kinds of different flavours of milk here in uganda - banana, chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and...coffee! so of course when i saw this coffee-flavoured milk i had to buy it. whether i would drink it as is, or make something with it, i did not know, but somehow, i would ingest said coffee milk.
so {after the tail end of my migraine faded into oblivion} i made the muffins this afternoon with noah.
the recipe doesn't call for coffee-flavoured milk, but i used it and they.were.amazing.


cappuccino muffins

combine
2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar {i know. it's a lot. but dang, these are good.}
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp instant coffee {every baker should have a small tin of instant coffee for baking needs. just a personal opinion.}
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon

in a separate bowl combine
1 cup {coffee flavoured} milk
1/2 cup melted butter, cooled
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla

you can even add 3/4 cup chocolate chips for an extra special treat {sadly, chocolate chips do not exist in uganda.}

combine the dry and wet ingredients. stir until just combined.
bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes in greased or paper-lined tins.
makes 18 muffins exactly.

whatever you do, do not drink a cup of tea with these muffins. coffee, milk , water or even juice, but not tea. it is forbidden.


you're welcome.

  1. These look delish my friend, I must try them... by the way, our copies of Joy's book have been ordered (it wouldn't let me send it to you directly so it will be coming with a package from us as soon as I recieve them). As always your baking is so delish... and coffee milk, did you ever just try it on it's own??? Is it thick enough to use like coffee cream???

  5. Ash - I would LOVE to eat some muffins with you...like...tomorrow morning works for me actually. :)
    Bekki - I was going to try the milk on its own, but then it went slightly sour (milk goes bad fast here) so I decided to just bake with it. But I'm thinking I"m going ot buy it again, just to drink. :) It's not "thick" like coffee cream, but I think it is slightly sweetened so I definitely wouldn't add any sugar in my coffee. :)
    Mom - did ya make them?
    Bean - yes. you MUST get me chocolate chips.
