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.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss in the chocolate chunks, reserving some for topping.
In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin liners, filling each 3/4 full. Press the reserved chocolate chunks on top of the batter.
Bake in the oven for 25–28 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
Let the muffins cool for 2–3 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack.
Cut a small hole in the center of each warm muffin and carefully remove the core.
In the microwave, heat the chocolates and heavy cream in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth to create ganache.
Pipe the ganache into the muffin centers until slightly overflowing. Allow the filling to set before serving.

Notes

Ensure not to overmix the batter for fluffy muffins.
Use quality chocolate for the best flavor in the ganache filling.
Allow muffins to cool slightly before cutting for easier handling.
