Instructions

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners, then fill one empty cup halfway with water.
Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss chocolate chunks in the mixture, saving some for topping.
In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and oil until smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Spoon the batter evenly into the liners, filling each about 3/4 full. Press reserved chocolate chunks on top.
Bake for 25-28 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
Let muffins cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut a small hole in the center of each warm muffin and remove the core.
In a microwave, melt together milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Pipe the ganache into the centers of the muffins until slightly overflowing, then allow it to set before serving.

Notes

Muffins are best enjoyed warm and fresh from the oven.
Adjust cooking time if your oven runs hot or cold for perfect baking results.
Feel free to add nuts or substitute different chocolate types for variations.
