During most of the pandemic, my only outing was a once-a-week trip to the grocery store. Sometimes it was a quick get-in get-out and no one gets hurt sortie. Other weeks, I took my time and really looked at the options on the shelves. It was one of those second times that I found the NestlĂ© Tollhouse espresso morsels. 

Maybe they’ve been around a while but they were new to me. I love coffee so how could a coffee chip be anything but good? I’m here to report that they are fabulous! The package says, and I quote: Made with real coffee, no preservatives, no artificial flavors or colors. 

They have the texture of semi-sweet chocolate chips but are full-on coffee flavor instead! If you love coffee, you are going to love these too. 

Cream Cheese Coffee Muffins 

These muffins are the perfect breakfast or snack time treat. Serve them with a cup of coffee, tea or a cold glass of milk.

Ingredients
2 cups or 250g flour
3/4 cup or 150g sugar
2 teaspoons instant espresso granules
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup or 170g espresso morsels
2 eggs, at room temperature
8 oz or 227g cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup or 180ml milk

Method
Preheat oven to 350°F or 180°C. Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan by lining it with paper muffin liners.

In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, espresso granules, baking powder and salt together. Set aside 24 espresso morsels and add the rest of them to the dry ingredients and stir to coat the morsels with flour. 


Whisk the eggs in a large bowl then add the cream cheese. Use a whisk to chop the cream cheese into smaller pieces then whisk until smooth and creamy. 


Add in the milk and whisk again to combine. 


Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. 


Divide the batter between the muffin cups. Top with the reserved coffee morsels.


Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes or until golden and well-risen.
