Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a jumbo muffin pan with baking cups or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
- Make the streusel topping by mixing together the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and melted butter (a spatula works best).Set aside to dry while making the muffin batter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee granules.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, kefir, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until the flour streaks disappear.
- Fill the muffin liners with batter and then sprinkle the streusel topping over them.
- Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes. Without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 375°F and bake until a toothpick comes out clean (about 15 more minutes, for a total bake time of 20-25 minutes).
- Once the muffins are cool enough to touch, transfer them to a wire cooling rack.
