I love baking up some muffins for breakfast. I am not a coffee drinker, I drink tea all day long but I do like the taste of it in baked treats. These double chocolate espresso oatmeal muffins have been on my “to do” list for what feels like forever and I finally decided to whip them up the other day. They are delicious and go perfect with a hot cup of coffee or tea. They are simple to make and freeze well. 3SP on blue, 4SP on green, and just 2SP on purple.

- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder

- Stir in the oats, espresso, cocoa powder and baking powder, then fold in the chocolate chips.

Looks delicious can you use regular instant coffee ty
I think regular coffee will still give it that overall taste 🙂
do they have a coffee taste? I don’t like coffee at all
HI Tammy, it is not very strong, just a hint, I as well hate coffee as a drink, however I do love the smell
Do these need to be stored in the refrigerator or room temp?
Hi Dollie, after a day I would keep them in the fridge and they can be frozen
Quick oats or regular?
Either is fine, I typically use quick oats
