Introduction:

Indulge in the essence of Hawaii with these delightful Kona Coffee Cup Muffins, a specialty recipe straight from the kitchen of Kiwi Gardens Bed and Breakfast in Kailua-Kona. The charm of serving these muffins in coffee cups not only adds an elegant touch but also brings a whimsical flair to any meal. While the recipe calls for Kona coffee, any robust pot of coffee will suffice, including espresso if you fancy. Fire King cups, reminiscent of heavy coffee mugs, serve as the perfect vessel for baking these treats. However, exercise caution and refrain from using delicate china that might crack under the oven heat. Simple coffee or soup mugs from your local dollar store will work just fine. Just keep in mind that if you opt for larger mugs, you may need to double the recipe to ensure each cup is generously filled.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup margarine
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup brewed Kona coffee

Instructions:

1. Preheat: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, blend together the margarine, sugar, and eggs until they form a creamy mixture.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour and baking powder together. Gradually add the sifted mixture to the creamy batter, alternating with the milk and brewed Kona coffee. Be sure to blend well after each addition to ensure a smooth consistency.

4. Prepare Cups: Spray 9″ Fire-King coffee cups with non-stick spray or lightly grease them with butter to prevent sticking.

5. Fill Cups: Fill each prepared cup halfway with the muffin batter.

6. Add Jam: Place a teaspoon of your favorite jam in the center of each cup filled with batter. Then, add more batter to cover the jam in each cup, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.

7. Bake: Place the filled cups in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve each muffin cup with its saucer for a charming presentation.
