Muffin explosion!

I have to work an overnight shift at work, so I thought muffins would make the hard labor less agonizing. That and lots of coffee. Lootss of coffee. I decided to make a couple recipes I found at Baking Bites: Espresso Spice Pumpkin Muffins and Browned Butter Brown Sugar Muffins.

Both muffins came together easily, and both ended up making 16 muffins (would be 12 if you want big muffin tops, but I was going for easy transport and a cleaner pan). The browned butter muffins are light in flavor and texture but still delicious. My favorite was the pumpkin muffins though. They are dense and moist and very flavorful. The coffee is a bit strong in these, but I'm OK with it. Next time I'd leave off the instant coffee in the crumble top.
