These amazing Cappuccino Muffins make waking up for work so much easier! I personally don’t like coffee unless it has lots of milk, sugar, whipped cream, and caramel syrup. 🙂 My husband on the other hand, drinks his coffee black every morning. He loves coffee, so much I could say that he is addicted. If he does not get his coffee, watch out! You do not want to cross his path! Hahaha! Just kidding…he is not that bad, but he does love his coffee. I made these indulgent muffins with him in mind. These moist muffins feature a rich espresso flavor bursting with chocolate chips and crunchy coffee beans, topped with a dollop of creamy coffee-flavored topping and sprinkled with chocolate shavings. Make these scrumptious muffins for the coffee lover in your family!
