Cappuccino Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 4 teaspoons espresso powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cocoa
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Bailey’s Irish Cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 mini chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 500°F. Line muffin tin with cupcake liners and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
2. Blend together the dry ingredients. Add chocolate chips.
3. Beat the liquid ingredients together — milk, oil, Bailey’s, vanilla and eggs — until they are light.
4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Take a fork or wire whisk and blend for 20 seconds — no more!
5. Fill cups of prepared muffin tin two-thirds to three-quarters full. Place muffins in the oven and immediately drop temperature to 400°F. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until muffins test done.
