My favorite fictional character of all time is Genya Safin from the Grishaverse 🀍 This badass Tailor has a taste for the finer things and would absolutely drink a deliciously dark roast with notes of cherry, walnut, and rich chocolate 🀀 I think she would enjoy a café au lait -- drip coffee with steamed milk -- that David prepared for her in a drip coffee contraption of his own making 🫢🏼

It was absolutely wonderful to end 2022 with Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez 😍 I don’t like to pick favorites when it comes to my top authors, but this adorable fake dating romance may very well be my favorite book by her! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

I’m a seriously picky romance reader, but Abby’s blend of sweetness and substance never ceases to amaze me and Yours Truly was no exception 🀎 Just like her previous novels, this one made me cry my eyes out as I saw bits and pieces of myself in each of the characters πŸ₯Ή It was just SO GOOD, y’all, and you can find the full review on my blog! 🫢🏼

Are you planning to pick up Yours Truly when it comes out in April? πŸ“– Have you read any of Abby’s other phenomenal romance novels? πŸ₯°

Cappuccino Muffins With An Espresso Cream Cheese Spread

Jump to Recipe

Your morning is about to get a whole lot better. I’m sharing one of my favorite treats with you today. Cappuccino muffins with an espresso cream cheese spread!

My mom began making these when I was pretty young and still didn’t understand why people enjoyed coffee. In my teens, I realized that not only did I love coffee, but these delightful muffins were fantastic with my morning cup of joe. I introduced them to my husband a few years back, and his immediate response after taking a bite was to question why I’d waited so long to make them in the first place. In other words, a completely understandable response.

After sharing a little video on my Instagram stories after baking, my inbox was instantly flooded with requests for the recipe. Well, what you ask for, you shall receive, my friends! Since originally publishing this article in the summer of 2021, I have had countless messages and texts from friends who have tried and loved these muffins. They really are such a wonderful treat!

It doesn’t get much better than these cappuccino muffins.

Okay, if we’re honest, the espresso cream cheese spread is hands down my favorite part about this recipe. I’ve thought about making it just to put on bagels or, if I’m honest, eat all by itself. It’s insanely delicious.

These muffins are perfect for brunch parties, breakfast in bed, or as a dessert – served with spiced mocha.

I’ve also made these as mini muffins, and I have to say that they were just as spectacular. If you want to test them in mini muffin tins, I suggest that you fill them to the top, and bake them for 12-15 minutes. They make an excellent midday snack this way, and they’re great for dunking in a mug of spiced mocha or paired with your favorite espresso.

Muffin Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp instant coffee powder (unbrewed)
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Spread Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese cubed
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp instant espresso powder (unbrewed)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

For the muffins

  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl
  • In another bowl, whisk milk and instant coffee until powder is dissolved
  • Add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract into the milk/coffee mixture
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture
  • Fold in chocolate chips
  • Preheat oven to 375Β°F
  • Grease or line your muffin pan and fill each cup 3/4 of the way with muffin mixture
  • Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until they've passed the toothpick test

For the cream cheese spread

  • In a food processor, blend all the spread ingredients (You can also combine these by hand or use a hand/stand-mixer, but the food processor tends to give it a creamier quality)
  • Chill in the fridge until ready to serve
  • Spread onto warm muffins and enjoy!

Will you be making these totally drool-worthy cappuccino muffins?

      I’m sure there’s a way to sub out the regular flour for almond or coconut flour. In fact, almond flour would probably add a delicious nuttiness! Let me know if you end up trying them out. I’d love to know what you think.

    These look amazing! Can I just use instant coffee in the spread or does it have to be espresso?

      It can absolutely be instant coffee. I just personally like the flavor of instant espresso, but either works! You can even use instant decaf coffee if that’s what you prefer πŸ™‚

    These look SO delicious! I wonder if they’d be able to be as yummy with a gluten free flour base. I want to try and find out now! Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe!

My favorite fictional character of all time is Genya Safin from the Grishaverse 🀍 This badass Tailor has a taste for the finer things and would absolutely drink a deliciously dark roast with notes of cherry, walnut, and rich chocolate 🀀 I think she would enjoy a café au lait -- drip coffee with steamed milk -- that David prepared for her in a drip coffee contraption of his own making 🫢🏼
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Did I go way too in-depth on this just because I love these characters and coffee a little too much? πŸ™ˆ Maybe I did, but it was fun πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

What was your last 5-star romance read? ⭐️ It What was your last 5-star romance read? ⭐️

It was absolutely wonderful to end 2022 with Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez 😍 I don’t like to pick favorites when it comes to my top authors, but this adorable fake dating romance may very well be my favorite book by her! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

I’m a seriously picky romance reader, but Abby’s blend of sweetness and substance never ceases to amaze me and Yours Truly was no exception 🀎 Just like her previous novels, this one made me cry my eyes out as I saw bits and pieces of myself in each of the characters πŸ₯Ή It was just SO GOOD, y’all, and you can find the full review on my blog! 🫢🏼

Are you planning to pick up Yours Truly when it comes out in April? πŸ“– Have you read any of Abby’s other phenomenal romance novels? πŸ₯°

What was the last book you read in one sitting? πŸ’

Honestly, it’s not very often that I finish a book in one day - either because I find myself too busy or I just can’t concentrate for such a long period of time πŸ˜…

BUT every once in a while, I have a weekend day where I can just fully sink into a story and enjoy it from start to finish without distractions πŸ“– That’s what I did with BEACH READ last Sunday and it was wonderful πŸ₯° I read it when it first came out, but this time, I really got to enjoy it in a new way - and I couldn’t put it down! πŸ™ˆ 

If only I could have more days like that πŸ˜‚ Have you read Beach Read or anything else by Emily Henry? β˜€οΈ

This past year, I either began or finished a few spin-off series that I found myself enjoying even more than their predecessors πŸ™ˆ The Dreamer Trilogy (the first of which is featured here) BLEW ME AWAY even though I just *sorta-kinda* liked The Raven Cycle 😱 But there I was, sobbing my eyes out at the end of Greywaren 😭 So freaking good! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Typically I’m all about the OG series (like Shadow and Bone), but every once in a while, there’s a really great spin-off or continuation that I wind up just loving! 🀩 I’m excited to discover even more this year πŸ—“οΈ

Have you read The Dreamer Trilogy yet? πŸ’­

It was only this past year that I really discovered how much I enjoy graphic novels πŸ’₯ I’ve always liked comic books and graphic novels are just an elevated kind of comic book 🀌🏼

Even though I preordered and listened to the audiobook for Demon in the Wood (blame it on my love for Ben Barnes as a narrator), I also got myself a physical copy because it’s just too gorgeous to pass up 😍 Just like the rest of the Grishaverse books, the naked cover is breathtaking with the most perfect silver embossing on deep purple πŸ’œ I could read this one over and over again (and I probably will)! πŸ“–
