• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/2 cup toffee bits
• 1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
5. In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and toffee bits. Cut in the butter using a fork until the mixture is crumbly.
6. Divide the muffin batter evenly among the muffin cups. Sprinkle the toffee crunch topping over each muffin.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
