Ingredients

• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 170 grams Bittersweet chocolate
• 60 grams All-purpose flour
• 120 grams Powdered sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and prepare a 6-cup muffin tin by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or greasing it with butter. Lightly dust the cups with flour to ensure easy removal of the muffins.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter and bittersweet chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring frequently, until smooth and well-combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and powdered sugar until thick and pale. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to combine.

Step 5

Add the vanilla extract and salt, and whisk until incorporated.

Step 6

Sift the all-purpose flour into the wet ingredients and gently fold it in using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft and slightly jiggly.

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for 1-2 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges of each muffin to loosen them.

Step 10

Gently invert the muffins onto a serving plate. Serve immediately while warm and gooey, optionally dusting with powdered sugar or adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
