Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Cupcake tray
  • Baking paper

Ingredients
  

Muffins -

  • 1/2 tsp instant coffee powder
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp castor sugar
  • 3 tbsp yogurt
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp warm water
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp chocolate chips + more for the top

Ganache -

  • 4 tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425℉ and line one cupcake with baking paper, as these are large muffins we need to ensure the lining is that of a muffin and not cupcake.
  • In a small mixing bowl add the instant coffee powder and warm water, mix until combined.
  • Add the melted butter, oil and whisk until smooth. Add the vanilla, brown sugar, castor sugar and whisk. Add the yogurt, milk and whisk until smooth.
  • Add the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt) and stir together until smooth. Add the chocolate chips and stir well.
  • Pour into the lined muffin case and top with a few more chocolate chips. Bake at 425℉ for 5 minutes and then bake at 375℉ for 14 minutes on until a tooth pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • While this is getting baked, let us make the ganache, in a bowl add the heavy cream in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds or until hot. Add the chocolate chips, honey and salt into the hot cream and stir together until smooth.
  • Once the muffin is baked, allow them to a cool a little. Then make a cavity in the center and fill the ganache into the center. Enjoy it warm.

Notes

  • If you are using cupcake liners you will get 2-3 cupcake sizes out of the batter and it would need to bake for 3 minutes lesser but I would suggest doing a tooth pick test to ensure it is cooked through.
  • You can fill the cavity with the dark chocolate ganache or you can leave it out as these muffins are delicious on its own but if you wan to make them as per the Olympic dupe recipe then they need the ganache filling in the center.
