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 the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Toss chocolate chunks in the mixture, setting aside some for topping.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 11 muffin liners, filling them 3/4 full. Press the reserved chocolate chunks onto the top of each.
- 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 further.
- Cut a small hole in the center of each warm muffin and remove the core.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolates and heavy cream in 30-second bursts, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
- Pipe the ganache into each muffin center, allowing it to overflow slightly. Let set before serving.
Notes
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate for the chunks and ganache.
Feel free to add nuts or dried fruit for added texture.
