Brownie Coffeecake Muffins image

I adapted this recipe from one I saw on a blog (I am sorry I cannot find that blog now to give credit where credit is due!) that stated the original recipe was printed in Woman's Day magazine. The blog and original recipe call for this Brownie Coffeecake to be baked in a 9-inch springform pan for 50-55 minutes and finished with a drizzle of melted chocolate, more chopped nuts and a sprinkling of powdered sugar. The cake batter filled 9 cups in my standard-size Calphalon muffin pan (yield may be different with another manufacturer's pan). These muffins have the rich, dark chocolate look of a brownie but the flavor and texture are definitely coffeecake-light with a perfect crumb topping. Enjoy!

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup unsalted butter

Overall, I thought these muffins were pretty good. They were moist and flavorful, but a little too sweet for my taste.

These muffins were a complete disaster! They didn't rise and they were raw in the middle.

I was disappointed with these muffins. They were dense and didn't have much flavor.

I thought these muffins were just okay. They were a little dry and the streusel topping was too crumbly.

These muffins are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I still enjoyed these muffins. The chocolate flavor is really strong.
