Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400℉.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter and sugar.
Add the espresso, milk, and eggs and beat until combined.
Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt until just combined.
Add in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
Place the muffin liners into the muffin pan and fill each cup with the batter 2/3 full.
Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
Bake in the preheated 400℉ oven for 5 minutes, then drop the temperature to 375℉ and continue baking for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven to a cooling rack and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Allow to fully cool for 20 additional minutes before serving.
