Thise were very nice, the coffee flavor is definitely there, but not overpowering - I used instant expresso powder. They were a little dry but I think I may have overcooked them - I wasn't sure if 8 large meant the oversized type muffin, so I probably should have peeked at them sooner. I cut the recipe in half and used a standard muffin pan, which made 7. I think mini choc chips would be a great addition. Thanks Annacia for sharing your recipe. Made for the Comfort Cafe July 09
