* Reviewed for PAC April 2010 * I made these with my youngest daughter. Easy to make and smelt so good cooking too. My husband and daughter want to give you more than 5 stars for these muffins. We made the recipe exactly as stated, though used chopped chocolate melts in place of the choc chips. I so wish I could have tried one of these..... I wonder how a gluten-free version would go???? Timing given was spot on for baking as well. THe recipe made 11 muffins for us tonight. Photo also to be posted

I made a very similar recipe - 'Decadent Melitta Muffins' I found on a Melitta coffee pamphlet. I used 2 teaspoons of very finely ground coffee, it worked fine. I heated the milk, stirred in 1/2 cup of butter until it was melted; then added the beaten egg and vanilla. I baked the muffins at 375 degrees for 18 minutes. I love the combination of flavours, coffee, cinnamon, vanilla and semi-sweet chips!
