I've shared with you our love for muffins around here. When I came across this recipe, I thought it sounded so good, I tried them out the next morning and they didn't disappoint. We've already had these several times. I did adapt them a little (of course!) for how we cook in our household and they were very well received! I was also concerned about the coffee (caffeine) being in them with Peanut and she didn't seem to have any more energy than normal, so if you are worried, it shouldn't be a problem.
