Coffee Muffin

Who does not want coffee and chocolate together!  When I saw this post, I was thinking this would be a nice breakfast muffin to give me the extra caffeine boost. The muffin has some bite in it from the chocolate chip. My little one was hooked on this muffin...he said " mummy, nice cake".
