Instructions

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners, filling one empty cup halfway with water.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss in the chocolate chunks, setting some aside for topping.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Evenly divide the batter among the muffin liners, filling each about three-quarters full. Press the reserved chocolate chunks on top of the batter in each liner.
Bake the muffins for 25-28 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Allow the muffins to cool for 2-3 minutes in the pan before transferring 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 milk and dark chocolate with the heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Pipe the ganache into the center of each muffin until slightly overflowing. Let set before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate for the ganache.
These muffins are best served warm, but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
Feel free to substitute with your favorite mix of dark and milk chocolate chunks.
