Espresso Mini Muffins with Chocolate Ganache

May 9, 2013 by Faith 13 Comments

These muffins are a special treat. For starters, they combine the two favorite foods of just about every girl I know (and a few guys too!): coffee and chocolate.

The chocolate ganache topping sets to a truffle-like consistency after being refrigerated, and the muffins are almost brownie-like in texture, but without being dense like a brownie. I’d say they’re dangerous to have around, but they’re actually pretty healthy (or at least much healthier than say, a slice of cake). Oh, and they’re grain-free, gluten-free, and naturally-sweetened. Special treat indeed, right? I love it when a special treat is healthy enough to enjoy on a regular day.

Head over to my guest post on the Tasty Kitchen Blog to check out the full recipe for Espresso Mini Muffins with Chocolate Ganache along with step-by-step photos!

    Although I never mind traveling for your recipes, I miss them being posted on your blog :(. Will you have them posted at a later date in your recipe box? These look amazing. I always love espresso in baked goods

      Erica, I’m so sorry for any inconvenience! With posts like this, I only give links to recipes that I make or develop for someone else, but most of my recipes are shared in full here on my blog. I was thinking about skipping these preview-type posts, but I sort-of like giving my readers the option to check out the recipe if they’re interested. Again, I’m so sorry for any inconvenience!

I developed this recipe last year on a whim one af I developed this recipe last year on a whim one afternoon when I really just wanted a slice of chocolate cake. 🎉🙈 I wasn't going to post the recipe, but it was pretty and one thing led to another and I styled and snapped a few pictures. It really is crazy delicious and it whips up in just 10 minutes in the microwave (and it has just 5g net carbs per serving!). And so here it is, lol.

I shipped cookies to my family members this year b I shipped cookies to my family members this year because I’m not heading home for the holidays, and when I was thinking about what to bake I knew I wanted a few new things on the lineup! I’ve been wanting to come up with a recipe for Eggnog Cookies for a while and I’m pretty proud of these. 🥰 I couldn't wait to share the recipe with you! These are like sugar cookies, soft and chewy inside and slightly crispy outside, but with a festive eggnoggy twist. 💫 And bonus, they take just over half an hour to whip up.
