☕ Cappuccino Muffins with Cocoa Streusel

🧁 Muffin Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 tsp instant espresso powder (like Nescafé Taster’s Choice or Starbucks VIA Instant)
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

🍫 Cocoa Streusel Topping

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

  4. Mix together until just combined — do not overmix.
  5. Fill muffin cups about ¾ full.
  6. Top generously with cocoa streusel.
  7. Bake 17–20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to rack.

☁ Optional Glaze (Coffee Drizzle)

Mix:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tsp brewed espresso
    Drizzle over cooled muffins.
