Ingredients
  

  • 312 g 2 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 75 g ½ cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 113 g ½ cup Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 54 g ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 100 g ½ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 100 g ½ cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 78 g ⅓ cup Heavy Cream
  • 120 g ½ cup Whole Milk
  • 120 g ½ cup Hot Coffee
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
  • 2 ½ cups 375g Chocolate Chunks, divided

Method
 

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