Mocha Nut Muffins

Source of Recipe


Sunset, July 1985






List of Ingredients



• 1/2 cup (1/4 pound) butter or margarine
  
• 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  
• 3 Tbsp finely ground coffee
  
• 2 tsp vanilla
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 1/4 cup dark rum or water
  
• 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1 large bag (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate baking chips
  
• 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
  






Instructions



1. With an electric mixer, beat together until fluffy the butter, brown sugar, coffee and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, then rum; beat well after each addition.
   
   
2. Mix flour with baking powder; add to batter, beating slowly to blend, then beat faster until batter is well mixed. Stir in chocolate and nuts. Fill 12 greased muffin cups (1½ inches deep, 2¾ inches across) to the rim with batter; the mixture doesn't overflow when baked.
   
   
3. Bake muffins in a 350° F oven until golden brown around edges, about 20 minutes. Run a thin metal spatula around pan to release muffins, and transfer them to a napkin-lined basket; serve hot or warm.
   
   Makes 1 dozen.
