Chocolate has always been treasured throughout history, loved by people from all walks of life. These muffins pay tribute to that tradition by combining the timeless allure of cocoa with modern baking techniques.
Each layer of chocolate in our muffins has been carefully chosen for its unique taste and texture. The bittersweet base, combined with semisweet morsels and topped with a glossy ganache, creates a perfect balance of flavors.
Making these muffins is an adventure in itself. We mix high-quality cocoa powder with chunks of artisanal chocolate and a swirl of chocolate chips to create a moist, dense, and incredibly chocolatey crumb.
With these muffins, we go beyond the simplicity of everyday baking. This is a recipe for those who appreciate bold and extraordinary flavors.
We didn’t just think about taste when creating this recipe; we also considered texture. The delicate crumb of the muffin contrasts beautifully with the smooth richness of the ganache, creating a delightful experience for both your taste buds and your eyes.
These Triple Chocolate Muffins require patience and precision. They demand your time, attention, and passion for quality. But in return, they offer an unforgettable experience that goes beyond just eating a muffin.
As we embark on making these muffins, let’s remember that the best recipes are not just about nourishing our bodies, but also about nourishing our souls. With each step, we infuse our personal story, our love for baking, and our joy in sharing the final product with others.

Description
Ingredients
Muffin Batter
Chocolate Ganache
Instructions
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
-
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, setting the dry mix aside.
-
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Mix the sour cream and milk in a cup, and gradually combine with the butter mixture, alternating with the dry ingredients until just blended.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips and chunks gently to avoid overworking the batter.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
-
Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C), then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 17 minutes.
-
While the muffins cool, prepare the ganache by heating the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer, then pour it over the chocolate chips, letting it sit for 5 minutes before stirring until smooth.
-
Once the muffins have cooled, spoon or pipe the ganache over each muffin top.
-
Allow the ganache to set for about 15 minutes before serving, if you can wait that long ;)

Note
For an even more intense chocolate flavor, use a combination of cocoa powders, like Dutch-process and natural.
Let the muffins cool completely before adding the ganache to prevent it from melting into the muffins.
The muffins can be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but they're best enjoyed fresh.
