Instructions

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with liners, filling an empty cup halfway with water.
In a bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss in the chocolate chunks, saving some for topping.
In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and oil until the mixture is smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
Evenly distribute the muffin batter into the 11 liners, filling them 3/4 full, and press the reserved chocolate chunks on top.
Bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
Once slightly cool, cut a small hole in the center of each muffin and remove the core.
Prepare the ganache by microwaving the milk and dark chocolate along with the cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Pipe the ganache into the center of each muffin until it slightly overflows and let it set before serving.

Notes

Ensure the muffins do not overbake for best texture.
Using both dark and milk chocolate enhances the flavor profile and richness.
Check to see the muffins are fully cooled before adding ganache to avoid melting.
