Ingredients
Serving Size: 12 muffins
¼

cups all-purpose flour

1

cup date sugar

¾

teaspoon baking powder

½

teaspoon baking soda

½

teaspoon salt

cup unsweetened cacao powder

¾

teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼

teaspoon ground cardamom

10

tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2

large eggs

teaspoons vanilla extract

1

cup hot coffee

1

Spring & Mulberry Pure Dark Date-Sweetened Chocolate Bar, divided

Optional: flaky sea salt, for topping

Directions
  1. Preheat. Heat oven to 425°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix dry. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, date sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cacao powder, cinnamon, and cardamom.
  3. Mix wet. In another bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and hot coffee until smooth.
  4. Combine. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until just incorporated—do not overmix.
  5. Fill. Scoop batter into muffin cups, filling about two-thirds full. Break half of the Pure Dark Bar into chunks and press several pieces into the center of each muffin.
  6. Bake. Bake 12–15 minutes, until tops are set but centers are still soft.
  7. Fill center. Melt the remaining half of the chocolate bar in 30-second microwave intervals until smooth. Poke a small hole in each muffin and spoon in melted chocolate for a molten, fudge-like center.
  8. Serve. Enjoy warm, topped with flaky sea salt if desired, for the ultimate chocolate moment.
