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!
Yes these do combine my two favorite things…and I love that they are totally breakfast-worthy! Off to go check out the recipe!
