Coffee Walnut Muffins

As usual, a baked product was due to be produced on every Sunday, I decided to bake some coffee muffins in an attempt to use up the rest of the instant coffee powder. Nevertheless to say, I failed. There was at lest enough left for two batches. Oh well.

As usual, I used raw sugar instead of white sugar. The sweet toothed may want to add an extra 10gs or so.

However, at the end, my batter was a bit dry, so I added water until it felt runny enough but still syrupy.

Ingredients:
Makes about 12 muffins
  • 100g butter
  • 160g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 30g coffee powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 120ml milk
  • 120g walnuts
  • 170g flour
Method:
  1. Put softened butter in a mixing bowl. Add sugar in two additions, beat until pale and fluffy. (In my case it was until it was well incorporated).

  2. Add egg, salt, half of the milk and half of the flour, sifted. Mix until it is well incorporated.

  3. Add the rest of the milk, and then the flour. Sift the baking powder in together with the flour.

  4. Add coffee powder and walnuts, mix evenly until well distributed. Your batter should be a nice (dark) chocolate brown.

  5. Bake at 170C for 20~30 minutes.

WOW! Coffee muffins. Sounds tasty XD
Can I have one?

I like to cook too, but I don't cook usually when my mom is here.
Only when she goes back to Taiwan, then the chef of my home will become me X3

I also interested in baking, but i only did it at junior high school year3 level, i joined the bake club at that moment.

Once I made curry when my mom was in taiwan, i took the photo to show my friends.
I asked them what it is, their reply is [sweet red bean rice dumpling soup], only few friends knew that is curry. wwwwwwww
