Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour, sifted
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/3 cups dark chocolate chunks
- 1 1/3 cups milk chocolate chunks
- 90 g milk chocolate
- 90 g dark chocolate
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners, filling an empty cup halfway with water.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt, then toss in the chocolate chunks, reserving some for the topping.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth.
- Carefully fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 11 liners, filling each about 3/4 full, and press the reserved chocolate chunks on top.
- Bake for 25–28 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 2–3 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
- Once slightly cooled, cut a small hole in the center of each muffin and remove the core.
- Prepare the ganache by microwaving the milk and dark chocolate with the heavy cream in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
- Pipe the ganache into the center of each muffin until slightly overflowing. Let set before serving.
Notes
For extra chocolate flavor, add more chocolate chunks on top before baking.
Ensure the muffins are completely cooled before filling them with ganache.
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
