Hot Chocolate Muffins-the great taste of your favorite winter drink in a muffin!
I’ve been wanting to make something in a coffee cup ever since the first time I saw it done, about a year ago.
You see, I have all these coffee cups that came with my dinner plates. You know when you buy the place setting for 4 in the box. It comes with the dinner plates, lunch/dessert plates, bowls, cups and saucers.
But it’s cheaper to buy the set then just the plates and bowls. Which is all I really ever need. Kids, I have a mix match of everyday plates thanks to my kids. And it’s ok, my good china is up out of reach, used only for special occasions, and only handled by me.
So anyway, I have all these coffee cups. I keep them up on the very top shelf of the cabinet
When I saw this recipe for Hot Chocolate Muffins posted by A Whisk and a Prayer, I knew it was time.

My caution is that you make sure the cups are oven safe. You might be able to use ramekins as well.
What a neat idea! I love using the cups too. Thank you so much for sharing at Mix it up Monday!

I use coffee mugs all the time to bake quick little cakes in the microwave (just google microwave coffee mugs cakes) or to scramble eggs in the microwave to put on english muffins for MY version of a world famous breakfast muffin (think golden arches). Easy and quick! Never tried them in the oven though, thought they’d break.
Thank you for sharing this great recipe. When i was reading it, a thought came to me (being that i loooove smores) hot chocolate usually has marshmallow’s on top, what if once the cake was cooled you put in a marshmallow creme, piped it into the center? I wonder how that would come out. I might give it a try over the weekend. Food for thought lol.
