My kids have declared these "phenomenal!" The muffins are good in their own right but the spread gives them an incredible extra dimension. Please note, it is a cream cheese spread and not a sweet icing. The chocolate chips will not change form much. Perfect with a big, cold glass of milk or cup of coffee!

SERVES 14 , 14 muffins (change servings and units)

I made this recipe for a friend of mine who's a coffee fiend, but replaced the icing with streusel- adding a little bit of instant coffee to the sugary topping- and she [along with everyone else] loved it! Fantastic recipe!

    Fantastic! Easy to put together, and smell so good while baking that my family kept coming in the kitchen to find out what I was making. These disappear fast around here!

    I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great! I did however make 24 mini muffins instead of 14 large ones. I did also iced them myself instead of serving the icing on the side.I served these at a brunch and they were the most popular muffin!(I made three kinds) I really liked the expresso icing and I think that the icing would taste awesome on brownies too! I think I will try the flavoured instant coffee next time. Thanks for posting this unique recipe!

    I had a blonde moment at the grocery store when shopping for these muffins - I somehow convinced myself that it called for coffee powder, so I bought instant vanilla cappuccino, since all the plain instant coffee is in granule form (I had the recipe in my hand, mind you!). Well, I thought the recipe turned out very well, but not as much like coffee as I had hoped. Guess I should have used the plain coffee granules! Duh! I got rave reviews, but the flavor was not what I was looking for, so I'll re-review when I try the recipe as written. I got 12 average-sized muffins, by the way. Revision: I came back to add stars - with the regular coffee granules, this is a true 5-star recipe.
