Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners. Fill one empty cup halfway with water.

**Bake**
Bake 25–28 minutes until a skewer comes out with moist crumbs.
**Cool Slightly**
Cool muffins 2–3 minutes in pan, then transfer to a rack.
**Cut Centers**
Cut a small hole in the center of each warm muffin and remove the core.
**Make Ganache**

**Fill Muffins**
Pipe ganache into muffin centers until slightly overflowing. Let set before serving.
Notes
• Sifting flour and cocoa ensures lighter muffins.
• Use high-quality chocolate chunks for best flavor.
• Do not overmix batter or muffins will be dense.
• Ganache stays soft and fudgy once cooled.
• Store muffins in an airtight container up to 3 days.
