Instructions

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners, filling one empty cup halfway with water.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss chocolate chunks in this mixture, saving some for topping.
In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, vanilla, and oil until smooth.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Avoid overmixing the batter.
Evenly divide the batter among the muffin liners, filling them 3/4 full. Press the reserved chocolate chunks on top.
Bake the muffins for 25 to 28 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut a small hole in the center of each muffin and remove the core.
For the ganache, microwave the chocolates with the heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Pipe the ganache into the centers of the muffins, allowing it to slightly overflow before serving.

Notes

Adjust the type of chocolate chunks based on your preference for flavor intensity.
Make sure not to overmix the batter for soft muffins.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for freshness.
