Equipment

6 Jumbo Tulip Muffin Liners

Ingredients

¾ cup buttermilk
¼ cup water
1 tsp instant coffee or espresso
½ cup butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks divided
⅔ cup cocoa powder
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup canola oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 TBSP baking powder
½ cup dry chocolate pudding mix
½ tsp salt

Ganache Topping

⅓ cup heavy cream
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line jumbo muffin tin with paper or silicon cups, set it aside.
Batter: In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, warm the buttermilk, water and instant coffee. Once warm add the the butter, ½ cup chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips) and cocoa powder. Whisk lightly to combine as chocolate melts. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In another bowl whisk both the white & brown sugars, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Slowly whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and dry pudding mix. Add the dry mixture to the wet mix, fold to gently combine.
Place ½ cup of the batter into each muffin liner. Top each muffin with more chocolate chunks.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Remove the muffins from the oven and set them aside to cool.
Ganache: Warm up the heavy cream in the microwave or on the stove. Once the heavy cream is very hot add the 1 cup of chocolate chunks and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until the ganache is smooth and glossy.
Carefully cut a 1" hole from the center of each muffin and fill with ganache. Set the muffins aside to cool and for the ganache to set. Serve the muffins warm and enjoy!
