Chocolate Coffee Muffins

Ingredients

1and ½ cups Sugar
3 large eggs
200 grams butter or Margarine
3 cups Plain Sifted flour
4 tablespoons cocoa or 75 grams chocolate (Dark)
3 tsp baking powder
1 heaped teaspoon instant coffee
100 mls hot water

Method

Heat oven to 180°C fan or 190°C normal oven . In a cup mix the coffee and hot water leave to brew. In a bowl place the Butter or marg and the sugar beat with a wooden spoon until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat with a wooden spoon until the mix has thickened if it looks curdled add a tablespoon of the flour and beat it in. Next, add the flour, cocoa or melted chocloate and the coffee, fold until mixture is smooth. If it looks too dry add a little trim milk.

Place the muffin cases into the muffin tins and fill the cases ¾ full. Should make 24.
Place in the oven for around 15 minutes check with a skewer when it comes out clean they are ready.

You can also put cream cheese in these if you want. You may freeze individually and use from the freezer. These are also great served with Passionfruit Pulp drizzled over them just before serving.
I find with all muffin recipies that each time I make them I slightly reduce the sugar content until they are at a healthier level try this on your family and they will find they won't like bought ones as they are too sweet. Make sure the reduction is subtle each time until you decide they are right for you.

Good luck
