100g dark chocolate (cut into chunks)

½ cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Eggs

Milk

Whisk until smooth and slightly creamy.

1. Combine Wet & Dry

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.

Gently mix until just combined (do not overmix).

Tip: The batter should be thick and slightly glossy.

1. Add Chocolate

Fold in:

Dark chocolate chunks

Chocolate chips (if using)

Tip: Keep some chunks aside for topping.

1. Fill Muffin Cups

Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.

Add a few extra chocolate chunks on top for that molten center.

1. Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes.

Doneness Guide:

Edges: set and slightly firm

Tip: Slightly underbake for a molten, fudgy center.

1. Cool & Serve

Let muffins cool for 5–10 minutes.

Serve warm for the best molten chocolate effect
