Ingredients
Method
Step 1. Bloom the Cocoa
- In a small bowl, mix the hot coffee into the cocoa powder until it begins to dissolve.
- Stir in the milk and set aside.
Step 2. Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3. Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth.
- Pour in the cocoa mixture, heavy cream, and vanilla paste, and whisk until fully combined.
Step 4. Combine Batter
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined — don’t overmix.
- Fold in 2 cups of chocolate chunks.
Step 5. Fill and Top
- Divide the batter evenly between 6 jumbo muffin cups, filling them right to the top.
- Chop the remaining ½ cup of chocolate chunks into smaller pieces and sprinkle them generously over each muffin.
Step 6. Bake
- Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for another 25 minutes until set.
- Use a toothpick to check for doneness. It should come out with moist crumbs but no raw batter.
Step 7. Cool and Enjoy
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before digging in. They’re best enjoyed slightly warm when the chocolate is still gooey!
