Dad and Husband drink coffee all day long, every day and both sleep like rocks. I don't drink it after 3pm. The caffeine gets to me if I drink it later than that.
The study was sponsored by Taster’s Choice.
Honey, did I already put sugar in my coffee?
And because Coffee hasn’t been named a Food Group of its own on that pyramid thingy:
Mocha Muffins
3 large eggs
1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
3/4 cup (180 ml) safflower or canola oil
1/2 cup (120 ml) strong black coffee, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (210 grams) all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups (175 grams) whole wheat flour
1/3 cup (25 grams) Dutch processed cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup (210 grams) light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (100 grams) pecans or walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 cup (170 grams) semisweet and/or white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Position rack in center of oven. Butter or spray with a non stick cooking spray 12 muffin cups. Set aside.
In a large measuring cup or bowl whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, coffee, and vanilla extract.
In another large bowl combine the flours, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips. With a rubber spatula fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir only until the ingredients are combined. Do not over mix the batter or tough muffins will result.
Evenly fill the muffin cups with the batter, using two spoons or an ice cream scoop. Place in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 - 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for about 5 minutes before removing from pan.
Makes 12 regular sized muffins or 6 jumbo muffins.
For shame.
Best news all week. Interesting study came out in past 2 days that 8 O’Clock Coffee won taste tests over more expensive brands such as Starbucks! In my quest to be healthy, I will never be thirsty drinking coffee, green tea, water, and merlot ;)
Then there’s the study that found that married people live longer. Or maybe it just seemed longer. I need to go back and check. After one more cup of coffee.
Being demented as I yam, can I cure me by drinking Starbuck’s?
Wuss.
I usually drink 2 mugs full (some days 3 mugs). I consider that a “cup of coffee”. HOWEVER, my coffee pot markings show each mug takes 2 cups of coffee to fill. So am I drinking 4-6 “cups” every morning?
