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. Fill one empty cup halfway with water to create steam during baking.
- In a bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until mixed. Reserve some chocolate chunks for topping and toss the rest into the dry mixture.
- In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth and fully combined.
- Fold the wet ingredients gently into the dry ingredients until just mixed; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 11 muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full. Press reserved chocolate chunks on top for added treat.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-28 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once warm, cut a small hole in the center of each muffin and remove the core to make space for the ganache.
- For the ganache, combine the milk chocolate and dark chocolate with the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Pipe the chocolate ganache into the centers of the muffins until it slightly overflows. Let the ganache set before serving.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality chocolate for the ganache.
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Try varying the chocolate chunks with your favorite types for a unique twist.
