Instructions
Muffins
- Preheat oven to 355℉ (180℃). Line a muffin pan with liners.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and coffee powder. Sift to remove lumps.
- In another bowl, whisk together egg, oil, milk, yogurt, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined (do not overmix).
- Fold in chocolate chunks using a spatula.
- Scoop batter into muffin liners, filling to the top. Sprinkle extra chocolate chunks on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Let muffins cool.
Chocolate Ganache
- Heat heavy cream until hot (not boiling), then pour over dark chocolate.
- Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Drizzle over muffins once cooled.
Notes
- For an extra molten effect, place a chocolate chunk in the center of each muffin before baking.
- Replace instant coffee with espresso powder for a stronger chocolate depth.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
