- 2 tbsp brewed espresso or strong coffee

- In another bowl, combine almond milk, coconut oil, espresso, vinegar, and vanilla.
- Pour wet into dry and stir until smooth. Don’t overmix—this isn’t therapy.
- Fill the pan cavities ¾ full. Bake for 15 minutes or until they pass the poke test.
- Cool them for 10 minutes before removing, or they’ll fall apart like your last situationship.
- Meanwhile, make the vanilla cream by beating butter, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Add milk to adjust texture.
