Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder until thoroughly combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Enjoy these scrumptious muffins with a cup of freshly brewed coffee for the ultimate indulgence!
