Instructions

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners. Fill one empty cup halfway with water.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss chocolate chunks in this mixture, keeping some aside for topping.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the 11 muffin liners, filling each about three-quarters full. Press the reserved chocolate chunks on top of the batter.
Bake for 25–28 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 2–3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once the muffins are warm, cut a small hole in the center of each muffin and carefully remove the core.
Melt the milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and heavy cream together in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Pipe the ganache into the centers of each muffin until slightly overflowing, and let it set before serving.

Notes

Use a mix of dark and milk chocolate chunks for a delightful contrast in flavors.
Ensure not to overmix the batter for the best texture in your muffins.
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
