Instructions

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners and fill one empty cup halfway with water.
Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Toss the chocolate chunks into this mixture, saving some for topping.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined to avoid overmixing.
Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin liners, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Press the reserved chocolate chunks on top.
Bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the muffins comes out with moist crumbs.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once the muffins are slightly cool, cut a small hole in the center of each muffin to remove the core.
To make the ganache, microwave the milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Pipe the ganache into the holes of each muffin until slightly overflowing. Let it set before serving.

Notes

Ensure not to overmix the batter for the best texture.
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
For a richer flavor, let the muffins sit for a few hours before serving to enhance the ganache.
