--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                          FOR THE MUFFINS:
       3/4           cup  Almond Flour -- or Almond Meal
    1         tablespoon  Ground Espresso Beans
       1/4      teaspoon  Baking Soda
       1/4      teaspoon  Ground Nutmeg
    1              pinch  Salt
    1              whole  Egg
    2        tablespoons  Coconut Oil
    2        tablespoons  Maple Syrup
       1/2      teaspoon  Vanilla
                          FOR THE GANACHE:
    2             ounces  fluid Dark Chocolate
    2        tablespoons  Coconut Milk

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a mini muffin tin well with coconut oil 
or greasing method of your choice.

In a food processor, combine all the dry ingredients for the muffins:
almond meal, ground espresso beans, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt. 
Pulse to combine.

Add in the wet ingredients for the muffins: egg, coconut oil, maple 
syrup, and vanilla. Mix on high until everything is nice and smooth.

Fill greased muffin tins 3/4 of the way full. You should have just 
enough to make 12, if you really scrape the bowl clean.

Bake for 8-9 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not over bake!

Allow muffins to cool.

Make the ganache. In a microwave safe bowl, combine the coconut milk 
and chocolate, microwave for 30 seconds, stir, microwave for 15 more 
seconds if it is not melted. Be careful not to burn it.

Top muffins with desired amount of ganache. Enjoy!
