Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Cranberry Cappuccino Muffins.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners to make cleanup a breeze. This is where the magic will happen!
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, salt, chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and the delightful orange zest. Stir until everything is well mixed, and the colors are vibrant. This mixture is the heart of your muffins!
Step 3
In another bowl, beat together the softened butter, white sugar, brown sugar, sour cream, milk, and eggs using an electric mixer on medium speed. Blend until everything is smooth and creamy, creating a luscious base for your muffins.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to bring the dry and wet ingredients together. Gently fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until the batter is moistened and smooth. Be careful not to overmix; we want those muffins to be light and fluffy!
Step 5
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in the water. This step adds a rich coffee flavor to your muffins. Stir this coffee mixture into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Step 6
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. This allows room for the muffins to rise beautifully in the oven!
Step 7
Bake in your preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait!
Step 8
Once baked, let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature, and savor the delightful combination of flavors.
