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.

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!
Saw these on TK and fell in love! Great recipe :)
Delicious with a cup of Turkish coffee!
Cheers,
Rosa
