Preheat oven to 400 + prepare a greased or lined muffin tin. We like silicone muffin liners.
Mix together almond milk, egg, yogurt, peppermint extract, and maple syrup. Stir to combine.
Fold in flour, cocoa powder, coffee, baking soda, baking powder and chocolate chips
Pour batter in to greased or lined muffin tins, filling 3/4 the way.
Bake for 12-15 minutes minutes until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in center of muffins.
When muffins come out of the oven - immediately sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Do not bake with candy canes on top or they will melt.

Substitutions for this recipe:

Milk: you can use any milk in this recipe
To make gluten free: replace whole wheat flour with Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Flour
To make vegan: I haven't tried it but I think you can replace 1 egg with 1 flax egg.
Honey: You can substitute honey with maple syrup.
Flour: You can replace whole wheat flour with white flour but your muffins might be a little more dense. I would not recommend almond flour, coconut flour, or oat flour. You can not substitute these flours 1:1 with whole wheat flour.
Nuts: You can add pecans or walnuts
Mini Muffins: You can make these into mini muffins by cutting the bake time in half.
