TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line two muffin pans with paper liners. Create spaces between the muffins for even baking.
2
In a medium bowl, mix the all purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and kosher salt.
3
In another bowl, whisk together the espresso, vanilla extract, sugar, eggs and buttermilk. Gradually add the melted butter as you continue to whisk.
4
Slowly add in the dry ingredients, mixing with a spoon until just combined. There should still be a few streaks of flour.
5
Fold in most of the mini semisweet chocolate chips, leaving about a handful for garnishing later. Do not overmix.
6
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter into the lined muffin cups, filling each up to the top.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8
Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of the muffins. They will melt into a delicious topping as the muffins cool.
ESPRESSO GLAZE
9
While the muffins are cooling, make the espresso glaze by combing the confectioner's sugar and espresso in a small bowl.
MUFFIN MIXTURE
10
Drizzle the espresso glaze over the slightly cooled muffins. Let them cool completely before serving.
