2. In another mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients, mix well then pour it the dry mixture. Mix well with a whisk until smooth and there is no lump. Do not over mix or the muffins will be tough.
3. Add in chocolate chunks to the batter and fold with a spatula. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling them full of the liners. Add extra chocolate chunks on top. 4. Bake for 20 minutes until when you inserted a wooden toothpick and it comes out mostly clean. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
Chocolate Ganache 1. While baking the muffins, heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbles appears on the edge of the saucepan. Turn off the heat. Add chocolate chips and let it sit for 3 minutes until the chocolate is melted and stir until well combined. 2. Let it cool and thicken then transfer it to a piping bag. 3. With a knife or chopstick, make a deep hole in the center of the cooled muffins then fill it with chocolate ganache until it comes out the top. Enjoy!
