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 the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss in chocolate chunks, saving some for the top later.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, vanilla, and oil until smooth.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ones gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin liners, filling them 3/4 full, and press the reserved chocolate chunks on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 28 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer them 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 chocolate and cream together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Pipe the ganache into the muffins until it slightly overflows. Let it set before enjoying.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
Make sure not to overmix the batter to achieve a light and fluffy texture.
Best served warm for maximum gooeyness.
