Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your muffin tin by greasing it or lining with muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chai spices.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with sugar, melted butter or oil, milk, vanilla extract, and espresso powder until smooth.
  4. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture gently until just combined.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with batter and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Let muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. For the chai glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and chai spices until smooth.
  9. Drizzle the chai glaze over cooled muffins and let it set before serving.
