3/4 cup Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Flour

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 egg large, lightly beaten

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided

1 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, divided

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup boiling black coffee

2 oz cream cheese, room temperature

1 tablespoon butter, room temperature

1 cup heavy cream, divided

1/3 cup powdered sugar

Heat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
In a medium bowl, whisk egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon peppermint, melted butter, and milk. Meanwhile, bring coffee to a boil.
In the bowl with flour, pour in wet ingredient mixture and stir until just combined. Slowly pour in coffee. Batter will be thin.
Pour batter into muffin tin, filling two-thirds full. Bake 18–20 minutes.
