The Olympic Village is known for many things, but perhaps none so delightful as their chocolate muffins, which gained fame thanks to a Norwegian swimmer’s enthusiastic reviews. Rich, fluffy, and loaded with chocolate, they’re everything a chocolate lover could ask for. Here’s how you can make them at home.

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a muffin tin with large liners or make your own with parchment squares as described above.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in buttermilk and soda water or cola until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks, reserving a few for topping.
  5. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin tins, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chunks on top.
  6. Place in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. While the muffins are baking, heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, letting sit for a few minutes. Stir until smooth.
  8. Once the muffins are baked and slightly cooled, use a small spoon or knife to make a hole in the center of each muffin. Fill with the chocolate ganache.
