Ingredients
  

Batter
  • 1 scant cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for batter)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
Topping
  • Coarse sea salt, for topping
Glaze
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the oven to 400°F / 205°C and get a muffin tin ready.
  2. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and sugar in a large bowl.
  3. Add the milk, coffee, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla to the dry mixture.
  4. Stir the ingredients together just until combined and no dry flour remains.
  5. Gently mix the chocolate chips into the batter.
  6. Portion the batter into the muffin cups, filling each one about 3/4 full.
  7. Add extra chocolate chips over the top of each muffin.
Baking
  1. Bake the muffins for about 15 minutes, until the tops spring back when lightly touched.
Glaze and Topping
  1. Whisk the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk together until smooth to create the glaze.
  2. If needed, thin the glaze by mixing in additional milk one teaspoon at a time.
  3. Let the muffins cool, then drizzle with glaze and finish each top with a small pinch of coarse sea salt.

Notes

Cool the muffins before adding the glaze so it remains on the tops.
