Cool the muffins and ganache completely before assembly, about 30-40 minutes

Makes 12 muffins

Muffin Ingredients:

¾ cup (180 ml) whole or reduced fat milk

¼ cup (60 ml) water

2 teaspoons instant coffee powder

½ cup (50 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder

4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter, cut into pieces

½ cup + 1/3 cup (145 total grams) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chunks

2 cups (250 grams) AP flour

1 tablespoon baking powser

¼ teaspoon fine salt

½ cup (110 grams) packed dark brown sugar

½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar

¼ cup (60 ml) neutral oil

2 large eggs, room temp

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup (60 grams) chopped milk chocolate, plus more for topping

Ganache Ingredients:

2/3 cup (115 grams) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chunks

½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream

1/8 teaspoon fine salt

Directions

Position rack in the middle of the oven, preheat 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a regular sized muffin pan with liners.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, water, and instant coffee. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally.

Add cocoa powder and whisk.

Decrease heat to low, add ½ cup (85 grams) of the chocolate chunks and butter, whisk until melted and smooth.

Transfer to a large bowl and cool slightly

In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.

To chocolate mixture, whisk in brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla.

Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture, whisk until incorporated

Add remaining flour, folding with a spatula until no streaks remain.

Fold in remaining 1/3 cup (60 grams) chocolate chunks and chopped milk chocolate, until just combined. Do not overmix.

Using a ¼ cup scoop or measuring cup, divide batter among 12 muffin cups, filling to the top of the pan.

Sprinkle additional chocolate chunks on top.

Transfer pan to oven, and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake for 22-24 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Start on ganache now

Let muffins cool in pan for 10 minutes, then use a knife or piping tip to cut an approximately ¾ inch wide hole in the center of each muffin. (use the centers as ice cream topping or eat now!)

Let muffins cool completely.

GANACHE: in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine chocolate chunks, heavy cream, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Once muffins and ganache are completely cool, spoon or pipe ganache into the center of the muffin, until slightly overflowed. Serve immediately.

Maxi Muffin Chocolat Intense Dupe

(2024 Olympic Village Chocolate Muffin Recipe)

Original dupe recipe by Becky Krystal of the Washington Post

Instructions based off of a video by @jordan_the_stallion8

Typed up by: @LegendsCookbook

EDITED 8/12/24 to correct misinformation! The recipe was a dupe but passed off as the OG!!

The rest of the image text is under the cut! Also a little rabbit hole on the whole correction at the very end.

Prep Time: 30 Minutes

Bake Time: 20 to 24 Minutes

Yield: 12 Muffins

Muffin Ingredients:

¾ cup milk

¼ cup water

2 tsp instant coffee

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup chocolate chunks

¼ cup butter

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

½ cup dark brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup vegetable or canola oil

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

⅓ cup chocolate chunks + more for garnish

Chocolate Ganache Filling Ingredients:

½ cup heavy cream

¼ cup chocolate chunks

pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

2.  In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add in the milk, water, and instant coffee. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

3. Once simmering, add in the cocoa powder and stir until smooth. Then add in the ½ cup of chocolate chunks and the butter and stir until both are completely melted. Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Set aside to cool slightly.

4. In a separate mixing bowl, add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and stir to combine. Set aside.

5. Once the chocolate mixture is slightly cooler, stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

6. Add in about ⅓ of the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth. Add the rest of the flour and fold until just combined. Do not overmix! Lastly, fold in the ⅓ cup of chocolate chunks.

7. Grease a muffin pan or line it with muffin cups. Add the batter to the muffin pan, filling each cup about ⅔ full. Add a few chocolate chunks to the tops as garnish.

8. Bake the muffins for 20 to 24 minutes. The muffins will be done when a toothpick inserted into the muffin comes out mostly clean. Set aside the muffins to cool slightly.

9. For the filling, in a small saucepan over medium heat, add the heavy cream. Heat until just simmering before removing from the heat. Add in the chocolate chunks and salt and gently stir until the chunks are melted.

10. To fill a muffin, add the ganache to a piping bag. Pierce the muffin with the tip of the piping bag and fill with as much chocolate as desired. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can fill the muffin by carefully carving out a small chunk of the muffin from the top and spooning in the filling.

11. We may not be Olympians, but we can try to eat like them!

Additional notes:

Bake time will depend on how big the muffins are. Are they jumbo muffins? Cupcake sized? Mini muffins?

For richer muffins, use whole milk but 1%, 2%, and skim milk will work as well.

After doing some research, it looks like this recipe is actually a dupe! While the original video by Jordan the Stallion was vague enough to have you think it was from the original bakery, Coup de Pates, it is actually taken from Becky Krystal of the Washington Post. That recipe can be found here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/recipes/olympic-chocolate-muffins/

The Maxi Muffin Chocolat Intense at Coup de Pates are mass produced, frozen, and sold to bakeries all over. As of 8/12/24, they have not officially released their recipe but that hasn’t stopped chefs from trying to recreate the chocolate goodness! https://www.coupdepates.fr/produit/maxi-muffin-chocolat-intense-831295

The blogger Kassie Mendieta was able to get locate an ingredient list and has based their dupe recipe around that. Give that recipe a peek too: https://ibakemistakes.substack.com/p/the-highly-sought-after-olympic-chocolate

Currently, we’ve reached out to the bakery to ask if they are willing to share their recipe, though we’re sure that we are one of many who want to know. We’ll keep everyone updated if they respond!

We decided to do this update to correct misinformation and to give credit where credit is due. If you make any of these recipes, please share photos and your experience making them! We love food and sharing meals with others 😊

Olympic Chocolate Muffin Recipe by Thessa 🏅🍫🧁

Recipe:

Ingredients

• 150g all-purpose flour

• 50g unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 200g brown sugar

• 2 large eggs, room temperature

• 120ml vegetable oil

• 240ml buttermilk or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• dark chocolate chunks for the topping 100g melted dark chocolate

For the chocolate ganache:

• 1/2 cup heavy cream

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Whisk together the buttermilk, eggs oil and vanilla until smooth.

Gently fold the melted dark chocolate until fully combined.

Chill the batter for at least 20 minutes.

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to

200°C (400°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Scoop the batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full.

Drop some chocolate chunks on tip of the batter.

Bake for 8 minutes on high and lower the heat to 150C and bake for 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with a few moist crumbs. (I just baked for a total of 30 mins and decreased to 300 F instead)

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For Chocolate Ganache Filling

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

Do not let it boil.

Place the finely chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.

Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to melt the chocolate.

Gently stir the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is smooth.

Let the ganache cool at room temperature until it thickens slightly, but is still pourable.

Once the muffins are cooled, use a small paring knife or a chopstick and poke the center of each muffin.

Pipe the ganache into the center of the muffins.

Let the ganache set before serving.

So, everyone's been on the hunt for a recipe for the olympics chocolate muffins filled with ganache. The catering is by Sodexo Live, and I found the head chef's name on this sodexo "love of food" website.

It might not be the exact same, but I think it's closer. If you used the fudge cake as the muffin base, added square chocolates (like what aldi has for baking chocolate), and then piped the ganache in last, I think you're getting close...

[halorocks1214]

my mom and i finally went and made that olympics muffin today and holy shiiittt

[lifblogs]

This is too funny.

[sunlit-flower-field]

I need those Olympic Village chocolate muffins!!

Henrik Christiansen and I are on the same wavelength

[jonneal]

I can say that all the stock groups, not as united as we are, we go to operate, is confident. We're the main force. We're a family. Last year's operation of NVDA, a wave of market we have earned 30%, this year Nvidia is crazy. January collective sprint ARQT, thanks to the main force. Too admire the group master, interested can join the WS group. https://chat.whatsapp.com/HSUyFs2MYEOESVLTuIELui

I feel like Ms. Choccy Muffin and Ms. Pommel Horse need to meet up and discuss how the f*ck their boyfriends became the heart and soul of the 2024 olympics

[miscellaneousmao]

My attempt at the Olympic Village muffins, but with a Pokémon spin = Lechonkolate muffins 🐽🍫 Breakfast of Pokémon champions ��

Obviously I can't be sure how they compare to the real thing at the Olympic Village, but these are definitely the best, most decadent muffins I've ever had, especially with the gooey center still warm from the oven. Chocolate heaven 🤤

[sporticus1234]

If there's one thing I'm going miss about these Olympics is all the unhinged and chaotic social media content the athletes have given us.
