Double chocolate chip muffin
This muffin is made of cocoa powder plus a pinch of espresso brings out the chocolate flavor. With sour cream that makes it moist and soft plus a vanilla that gives a lot of aromas.
To be honest, every time I go Coffee Bean when I get coffee, I always match muffins. And my son’s favorite is their double chocolate muffin. Sometimes we even stop by in the morning before school to pick up muffins for school snacks. But these days with inflation and all sometimes I feel like it’s cheaper to make them at home. Lol Yes, I try to save some money through that, and guess what… making this at home is not only fun, but I get to share it with family and neighbors.
