Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth and glossy.
Add the eggs, then whisk in Greek yogurt, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Sift in all the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and instant coffee.
Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
