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 oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners, filling one empty cup halfway with water.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss in chocolate chunks, reserving some for topping.
- In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly into the muffin liners, filling them 3/4 full, and press the reserved chocolate chunks on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 28 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool the muffins in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Once slightly cooled, cut a small hole in the center of each muffin and remove the core.
- For the ganache, microwave the chocolate and cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Pipe the ganache into the muffin centers until it slightly overflows and let it set before serving.
Notes
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
You can substitute the milk chocolate with more dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
