I made these for the upteenth time - Delicious!
I use the weight measurements, bake 18-19 minutes, and omit the optional pearl sugar:

Merstar, I've made these before on your recommendation and they were a huge hit. I need to make them again, thanks for the reminder.

Made these this morning for after our 8 am game. As always a hit with the kids. The one issue I had was in doubling and cooking both trays they didn't dome, and spilled over. Wonder if I cooked them on convection if that would help?

merstar,

Do you use the optional 3/4 teaspoon espresso powder? Will instant coffee due instead of the espresso powder? Or leave it out completely?

I'm not sure what the solution is - however, I just noticed on King Arthur's site that they updated their directions:
"As of 10/29/12, this recipe has been modified to produce a higher-rising, less flat-topped muffin, as follows: amount of milk reduced from 1 cup to 3/4 cup; and baking temperature reduced from 400°F to 350°F."

Absolutely - I pretty much always add instant espresso to chocolate recipes - it enhances and deepens the chocolate taste. If you don't have instant espresso, you can use finely ground espresso beans or you can use instant coffee, and add a little extra.
