In a large bowl, whisk together the ground speculaas cookies, ground oats, and baking powder.
In a medium bowl, blend together the milk, tofu, and Sucanat using an immersion blender or a countertop blender.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter equally among the muffin cups.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool on a wire rack.
To make the Ganache:
Heat the soy milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it starts to scald (before boiling).
Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until they melt.
Stir in the maple syrup or agave nectar.
Drizzle the ganache over the cooled muffins.
