Recipe

To prepare muffins, in large bowl, stir together flour, cocoa powder,
sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Make sure cocoa is
thoroughly mixed into flour.

In small bowl, stir together buttermilk and coffee granules until
coffee dissolves. Stir in melted butter, egg and vanilla.

Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and stir with fork just to
incorporate. Stir in chocolate. Spoon batter into 8 or 9 greased
muffin tins, filling 3/4 full.

Bake at 375 degrees 25 minutes or until tester inserted into center
of muffin comes out clean. Turn muffins out onto wire rack.

To prepare glaze, in small bowl, stir together powdered sugar and
brewed coffee to make thick liquid mixture. Drizzle over hot muffins
and set aside until glaze is firm. Makes 8 or 9 muffins.

Note: These muffins are best eaten the day they are baked. Freeze
remaining muffins in individual plastic bags. Thaw at room
temperature 1 hour, then reheat in oven at 325 degrees before serving.
