  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup milk, I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ounces Dark chocolate, chopped (I used 70% dark)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. and line a standard 12 cup muffin pan with parchment paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl whisk or sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a smaller bowl whisk together the milk, yogurt, maple syrup, egg and vanilla.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry and fold together with a rubber spatula until just combined. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate.
  4. Fill each muffin cup approximately 3/4 of the way full and top with a few extra chunks of dark chocolate if desired. Place the muffin pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  5. Cool the muffins on a cooling rack before drizzling the tops with the coffee glaze.
Coffee Glaze
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl whisk together all of the ingredients until smooth. The glaze should be thick enough to set, but still pourable, add more sugar or milk if needed.
  2. Drizzle over the tops of the cooled muffins.
