Cappuccino Muffins

Cappuccino Muffins
Imagine the smell of freshly brewed espresso in the morning.  Now imagine that freshly brewed espresso in a muffin.  Now imagine that freshly brewed espresso in a muffin with CHOCOLATE.

Cappuccino Muffins

I brought three dozen of these muffins into work on snack day.

I warmed them slightly in the toaster oven before carrying them into the boardroom for our morning meeting.  Halfway through, I could see a few people licking their fingers as they gazed lovingly at their half eaten muffin.  An hour later, all three trays were completely empty.  That’s how good these are.

I did make a few minor adjustments to this recipe especially to the type of fat used.  There’s good fat and there’s really bad fat.

What’s the difference?

Good Fats

These are considered healthy fats, supports brain health, and should be included as part of a well-balanced diet.

1)  Coconut Oil, cold pressed
2)  Butter from grass-fed cows or organic
3)  Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Bad Fats

Vegetable oils should be completely avoided.  Unless it’s labeled as non-GMO and/or organic, these are highly processed, refined, and have little to no nutritional value.

1)  Soybean
2)  Corn
3)  Canola
4)  Sunflower
5)  Sesame
6)  Safflower
7)  Cottonseed
8)  Grapeseed
9)  Rice Bran

We should all be more aware of what we put into our bodies.  Sometimes all it takes is one small change at a time.

The decision to replace vegetable oil with grass-fed butter also made these muffins taste a hundred times better.
