Light and Fluffy Muffins
To create light and fluffy cappuccino muffins, the key is to beat the sugar and butter until smooth and creamy.
The egg is added and beaten into the butter mixture until it is light and fluffy.
The espresso powder is stirred into the warm milk and added into the bowl with the vanilla.
In a separate bowl, the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt is stirred until combined.
The dry mix is beaten into the wet mixture until just combined. It’s important to not over beat the muffins or else they will be dense.
