Pumpkin Spice Coffee Muffins

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 2/3 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup instant coffee granules
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 1 cup oil
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray 24 muffin cups with cooking spray or line with paper liners.

Combine warm water and coffee granules together in a cup until coffee is dissolved; pour into a large bowl. Mix flour, sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and baking powder into coffee until batter is thoroughly mixed; fold in chocolate chips. Fill muffin cups with batter.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
