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. Fill one empty cup halfway with water.
- Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss chocolate chunks in this mixture, keeping some aside for topping.
- In a separate bowl, whisk milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until well blended.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Evenly divide the batter into the muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full, and press reserved chocolate chunks on top.
- Bake for 25 to 28 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
- Once warm, cut a small hole in the center of each muffin and remove the core.
- Microwave the milk and dark chocolate with heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth to make the ganache.
- Fill the centers of the muffins with ganache until it slightly overflows, then let it set before serving.
Notes
Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
You can substitute buttermilk for milk for a richer flavor.
For an extra touch, sprinkle some sea salt on top of the ganache before it sets.
