Ingredients
1 box chocolate muffin mix (about 15.25 ounces)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup water
2 large eggs
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate muffin mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, water, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Add the brewed coffee and brown sugar to the batter and fold in gently.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped walnuts evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
