Jumbo size muffin pan

Ingredients

½ cup butter room temperature
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon vanilla
3 eggs
3.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
1 ½ cups flour
½ cup cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 cup sour cream
⅓ cup buttermilk
12 ounces milk chocolate chips

Ganache center filling:

14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine the butter and the sugars together and beat until light and fluffy.
Add in the oil and vanilla and beat some more.
Add in the eggs, one at a time, fully combining before adding the next egg.
Add in the pudding mix and blend.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
Add about half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and combine.
Add half of the sour cream and mix. Add in the remaining flour and mix.
Add the last of the sour cream and mix.
Add the buttermilk and make sure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Line a jumbo sized muffin pan with paper liners and fill each cup about ¾ full.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees and finish baking for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out cleanly.
Remove and let cool completely.
To make the ganache, heat the condensed milk in a small bowl in the microwave, but do not boil.
Add the chocolate chips and vanilla and let sit for about 2 minutes before whisking until smooth.
Place ganache in a piping bag with a wide, round opening.
Cut about an inch wide and deep part out of the top of each muffin.
Pipe in the ganache up to the top of the muffin.
