Mocha Muffins: Preheat
your oven to 375 degrees F (190
degrees C). Place oven rack in center of oven. Line 12
muffin cups with paper liners, or butter or spray with a non stick vegetable cooking
spray.
In a large bowl,
whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, coffee, and vanilla extract.
In another large bowl,
whisk together the flours, unsweetened cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and
salt. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using. With a
rubber spatula fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir only
until the ingredients are combined and moistened.
Evenly fill
the muffin cups with the batter, using two spoons or a cookie scoop. Place in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the
center of a muffin comes out with just a few crumbs clinging to it (about 18 - 23 minutes). Transfer to a wire
rack and let cool for about 5-10 minutes
before removing from pan. Can be stored at room temperature for a few days
or they can be frozen.
Makes about 12 regular
sized muffins.
