Caveman Coffee Co specializes in third wave coffee.  This means that the coffee is hand-picked, single origin, and small batch roasted for a superior coffee.

Right upon opening the coffee, it smells amazing.  And, once ground, makes and equally amazing cup of coffee!  Caveman Coffee Co. also sent me a package of cocoa butter that I have yet to same – stay tuned for some yummy recipes made with cocoa butter!

And what goes better together than coffee and chocolate?

I decided to use the coffee to create a chocolatey, coffee laden version of one of my favorite muffins: pumpkin chip!

The pumpkin muffins are perfect for this time of year and lend themselves beautifully to a chocolate/coffee version – popular with kids and adults alike!  I think I’ve created a new favorite!

Mix together the sugar and eggs, beating until combined and lightened.

Add in the cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, and flour.  Mix until smooth and combined.  Stir in chocolate chips.
