Chocolate Peanut-butter & Coffee Muffins

I like my chocolate desserts dense . I start this post with this because i think the denseness is the essence of all that is desirable in chocolate and it's dark intensity is not something that should be toyed with . These muffins are the plainest of muffins , damp , heady and made aromatic with some coffee powder . I also think , this makes a beautiful dessert , either by itself or with some ice-cream / bowl of strawberries or maybe with a pitcher of white chocolate rum custard . The latter is the fussier option , but there are times when , perversely, that is what we all want .

On other days , i like these muffins simply sliced , with a cup of tea or coffee.

I will also confess that it absolutely goes very well with a spread of cream cheese.

Basically all things good !

Let me indulge you into this :)

Things you will need :

• 01 cup of plain flour , sifted together with 01 tsp baking powder

• Combine the eggs , followed by the buttermilk and the flour .

• Lastly , add in the coffee and cocoa powder and incorporate everything well.
