Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
2/3 cup(s) old fashioned oats
2 1/2 tablespoon(s) cocoa powder
1/2 cup(s) dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 cup(s) plain yogurt
1/4 cup(s) strong coffee
1/4 cup(s) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
FOR THE MOCHA SUGAR TOPPING:
2 tablespoon(s) old fashioned oats
1 tablespoon(s) turbinado sugar
1 tablespoon(s) cocoa powder
1 teaspoon(s) instant coffee powder

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. To make the mocha sugar topping, combine the oats, turbinado sugar, cocoa and instant coffee powder in a small bowl; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, cocoa powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, coffee, butter, eggs and vanilla.
Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tray. Sprinkle with reserved topping, using your fingertips to gently press the crumbs into the batter.
Place into oven and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
