Dirty Chai Muffins with Espresso Glaze

Dirty Chai Muffins with Espresso Glaze
dirty chai muffins
What could be better than to have your coffee and even more coffee in all in one muffin. This Dirty Chai Muffin recipe has you covered…all over in espresso glaze. artistinresidencehome.com

I’m such a big fan of Chai. I am still working on my own perfect blend so until then I will be inspired by all the spices that go into which can be a lot. The best way to get the authentic taste is to try some at your favorite Indian restaurant. You will find that it taste a lot different than some of the pre-blended drinks on the market.

For baking purposes, you can achieve a close taste with a blend of ground spices like ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, and black pepper. you pretty much need all of these so don’t forgo any one of them.

For this recipe, I tried a new chai spice blend from King Arthur. It worked very well. I also like the fact that is was ground very fine.

The espresso glaze really sets off the ‘dirty’ in this muffin. There is also espresso in the muffin as well.

I dare you to have it with your favorite chai to have an explosion of flavor!

      Nothing like another layer of caffeine! Think of all the stuff you can drizzle this on to give an extra kick. Let me know if you make these and if you use the glaze for other baked goods.
      Thanks for stopping by!
