Bakery-style double chocolate hazelnut muffins with a rich chocolate ganache topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips (for ganache)
- ⅓ cup heavy cream (for ganache)
- ⅓ cup chopped toasted hazelnuts (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- Whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla, and sour cream until smooth.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts.
- Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each three-quarters full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the ganache, place chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl.
- Heat heavy cream until steaming, pour over chocolate, and let sit for 2 minutes.
- Stir until smooth and glossy, then drizzle over cooled muffins.
- Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts and let ganache set before serving.
Notes
- Toast hazelnuts for deeper flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
- Ganache sets quickly, so drizzle immediately after making.
