PRESENTATION

Coffee muffins are, well, the perfect bit of American comfort to have on your table. You know, they wake you up and make mornings way less rushed. Really, the mix of strong coffee in the batter gives them this deep, moist center that's cozy and energizing. Pretty simple but so satisfying. Unlike your regular muffins, coffee cake muffins have a flavor that feels rich—really rich—but not too heavy. They are perfect for breakfast or a quick afternoon snack when you want something sweet and a little special.

And listen, these muffins often feature a tender crumb, sometimes with chocolate chips or a drizzle of coffee glaze—seriously good. They're easy to whip up but feel more exciting than just a plain muffin. You know what I mean?

Here's the thing, regional tweaks show up too, like swapping in local espresso or adding extra vanilla. And Cappuccino muffins bring that coffeehouse vibe home. It's easy to see why: these coffee-infused muffins are quick to bake, and honestly, the smell alone is enough to pull everyone into the kitchen. And you know what? Some like to top them with a simple glaze, others add nuts, or leave them plain to really taste the coffee. Either way, you end up with a batch of golden, moist muffins. Perfect with any coffee or tea.

They aren’t just for breakfast, though. People love them at brunches, bring them to friends, or pack them for a work snack. Truthfully, because they’re so simple, homemade coffee muffins let you play with the flavors, making each batch your own. Whether you go heavy on the coffee or just add enough for a little buzz, these crispy-edged, soft-centered treats really really disappear fast. That’s why coffee breakfast muffins keep popping up at family tables everywhere. And the sauce? Oh, you don’t need one, but it’s great if you do.

How to prepare Coffee Muffins

To prepare the coffee muffins, first make coffee with the moka and let it cool. In a bowl, pour the softened butter and sugar 1, work with electric beaters until you get a creamy mixture. Turn the beaters on again and add the first egg 3.

Wait until it is completely absorbed before adding the next one 4. It is important that all ingredients are at the same temperature. Now sift the flour 5, baking soda, and baking powder 6 directly into the bowl.

Add the pinch of salt 7 and turn on the beaters again to incorporate the powders 8. You will notice that the batter will become more consistent, so thin it with the room temperature coffee poured in a stream 9. At this point, the mixture will be soft and compact.

Place the paper liners in a muffin pan and using a spoon, fill them 2/3 full with the batter you just made 10, leaving less than half an inch from the edge 11. You will need to pour about 2.3 oz (approximately 65 g) of batter for each muffin. Bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F (180°C) for 25 minutes in the center rack. Remove the muffins 12 and let them cool slightly. At this point, your coffee muffins are ready to be enjoyed.

Storage

Coffee muffins keep for a maximum of 2-3 days under a glass dome. If you like, you can freeze the cooked muffins, then let them thaw as needed and warm them slightly in the oven before serving.
