FOR 12 MUFFINS:
2 c all purpose flour
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp instant coffee powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
1 c milk
1/2 c butter, melted
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 c semi-sweet mini chocloate chips or
4 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
CRUMB TOPPING:
1/4 c butter
6 Tbsp all-purpose flour
4 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400 F
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, coffee powder, salt and cinnamon
3. In another bowl, mix together milk, melted butter, egg and vanilla
4. Pour liquid ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir to combine but do not overmix. Use a maximum of 15 - 20 strokes, and don't worry about lumps in the batter. Stir in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.
5. Spoon batter into 12 paper lined muffin cups
6. Use a pastry cutter and combine the crumb topping ingredients in a small bowl
7. Sprinkle topping evenly over the unbaked muffins
8. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
9. These muffins are best served hot (warm at least!) I can't tell you if they keep well, they never last that long! A pot of fresh-brewed coffee + a bowl of fresh strawberries + these muffins = breakfast at my mom's house!!
