Mocha Chip Muffins

these are a fun little morning treat or afternoon snack. They are perfect to serve to a friend who comes over for coffee. Is there anyone who does not like the combination of coffee and chocolate?
Make sure that you do not over-cook these. Check them early.
Serves 12 ( 5 points + )

⅔ c. skim milk
5 T. light stick butter, melted
3 T. instant coffee granules
½ tsp. vanilla
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 c. flour
⅔ c. sugar
½ c. mini chocolate chips
2 tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray.

Combine the first 5 ingredients in a bowl. In another large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Make a well in the center. Pour in the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Spoon batter into 12 muffin cups. Bake 15-18 minutes or until done. Remove muffins from pan immediately; cool on a wire rack.
