# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The texture is unlike any muffin youve ever hadbouncy and tender with a slight chew that keeps you coming back for another bite
  • That deep coffee flavor pairs perfectly with chocolate chips or stands beautifully on its own when you need something sophisticated yet simple
02 -
  • Mochiko flour behaves differently than wheat flour so don't be alarmed if the batter seems slightly thicker than what you're used to
  • These muffins actually taste better on day two when the coffee flavor has had time to deepen and distribute throughout
03 -
  • Grind your coffee beans just before brewing for the absolute freshest flavor impact
  • Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before scoopingit helps the mochiko hydrate fully for better texture
