Description

Modified from a recipe in a coffeehouse series mystery. You may add a frosting or glaze, but these are sweet enough on their own.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 1 teaspoon minced orange zest
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
  • ¼ cup water
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  2. 2. Gently stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, salt, chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and orange zest in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Beat butter, white sugar, brown sugar, sour cream, milk, and eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed in a separate large mixing bowl until blended.
  3. 3. Gently stir flour mixture into the liquid ingredients just until batter is moistened and smooth. Dissolve coffee granules in water in a small bowl and stir coffee mixture into the batter. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
  4. 4. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin, 20 to 25 minutes.
