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 your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners and fill one empty cup halfway with water to create steam.
- In a bowl, whisk together sifted flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss chocolate chunks in the mixture, saving some for topping the muffins.
- In another bowl, blend milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth.
- Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined—be careful not to overmix!
- Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full. Add the reserved chocolate chunks on top of each muffin.
- Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 25 to 28 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the muffins to cool for 2 to 3 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once slightly cooled, cut a small hole in the center of each muffin and remove the core to create space for the filling.
- To prepare the ganache, melt the milk and dark chocolate along with heavy cream in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Pipe the ganache into the center of each muffin until they slightly overflow. Let it set before serving.
Notes
Make sure to sift the flour and cocoa powder for a light texture.
You can substitute dark chocolate with semi-sweet if preferred.
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
