Instructions

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with liners, filling one empty cup halfway with water.
Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss in chocolate chunks, reserving some for topping.
In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
Spoon the batter evenly into 11 muffin liners, filling each 3/4 full, and press reserved chocolate chunks on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-28 minutes, or until a skewer comes out with moist crumbs.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Cut a small hole in the center of each muffin and remove the core gently.
Microwave milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and heavy cream in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth to make the ganache.
Pipe the ganache into the center of each muffin until it overflows slightly and allow to set before serving.

Notes

Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
You can replace chocolate chunks with your favorite add-ins, such as nuts or dried fruits.
For extra richness, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
