Instructions:
-
Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line 12 muffin-tin cups with paper liners.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
-
Prepare Coffee Mixture: In a separate 1-cup measure, dissolve the instant coffee granules in coffee liqueur and whiskey. Then, add enough milk to reach 1 cup in total.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs with the coffee-milk mixture until fully combined.
-
Incorporate Butter: Gradually whisk in the melted butter into the wet ingredients until smooth.
-
Combine Wet and Dry: Gently pour the liquid mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins spring back when gently touched.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
