Impress someone special when you make them these Sugar Free Chocolate Espresso Muffins
Eating one of these muffins in like a heaven in a muffin wrapper.
Sugar Free Chocolate Espresso Muffins
I am sure that you might do this too.
You go into that fancy coffee shop, alone or with somebody else, and you check out what kind of yummy goodies are also in there. I mean, sometimes you need a yummy muffin to go with that coffee- right? There almost always seems to be this muffin or a similar muffin for sale when I look. However, they are not usually sugar free. Thus, I make my own.
I know that it is not just the yummy smell of these muffins that get people thinking about them.
It really could be the name- I mean with those ingredients. A chocolate muffin by itself seems like a good idea. However, when you add in some espresso, that muffin just gets better. Do you know what I mean?
There is a secret ingredient in this recipe.
Well, maybe it is not so secret as the ingredient is in the title of this recipe. That ingredient is espresso powder. If you do not have espresso powder, you can easily find espresso powder online. We will also be using unsweetened cocoa powder as well as sugar free chocolate chips.
By the way, I do have a few other equally tasty sugar free muffin recipes that you may like.

How to make Sugar Free Chocolate Espresso Muffins.

- Also, in another bowl, whisk together your vanilla extract, espresso powder, eggs, milk, and melted butter.
- Add the second bowl (wet ingredients) to the mixing bowl and mix until blended then fold in your chocolate chips.
