Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons coffee syrup (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar: In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and cooled brewed coffee.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fill the muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
  7. Bake: Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool completely.
  8. Make the cream cheese topping: While the muffins cool, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
  9. Top and drizzle: Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture on top of each cooled muffin. Finally, drizzle with coffee syrup for an extra coffee kick before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients: Make sure your butter, eggs, and cream cheese are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better consistency in your muffins.
  • Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Customize the sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet muffin, reduce the sugar by ¼ cup.
