1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare 3 dozen muffin tins with papers
2. Combine all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and whisk until combined, set aside.
3. Whisk together, eggs, milk, oil and vanilla until well combined. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Slowly add the hot coffee and rum to the batter and whisk until totally blended and smooth, about 2 minutes. The batter will be quite runny.
