1️⃣ Prep the Muffins:

In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and hot water until smooth. Fold this mixture into the batter, then add the chocolate chips and stir until combined.

4️⃣ Bake:

Spoon 3-4 tbsp of batter into each muffin tin. Bake for 20-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

5️⃣ Make the Ganache:

Microwave the heavy cream until hot, then pour over the semi-sweet chocolate. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Transfer the ganache to a piping bag.

6️⃣ Fill the Muffins:

Once the muffins have cooled, make a small slit on top of each muffin and pipe the ganache into the center. Enjoy!
