Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder optional
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter cooled
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400ºF. Line 12 muffin cups with liners.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, espresso (if using), and salt. In a second bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs. Pout the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients; mix until just combined. The batter will be very thick.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup almost to the top. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
