These were absolutely delicious. I didn't have cocoa/espresso powder but it still came out great. I must admit that I overcooked them a tad bit. But it didn't even matter to me. I ate them right out of the pan. Very decadent. So good. Im gonna make them again and again.

2nd attempt: Highly recommend using cupcake liners. This time I used cupcake liners & distributed the batter evenly through out the whole pan. I filled each cup leaving about 1/2 inch from top. I did add 1 extra tbsp. of flour to the mix & skipped the sifting (I couldn't tell the difference. If you want it runny in the middle, you definitely need to undercook a little. I ended up cooking it about a minute longer & it's tender in the center but not oozing out, but still really good. I serve it with vanilla bean ice cream. If you decide to use a 6 oz. ramekin, you need to cook it longer maybe 12-15 min, but I decided not to since they are kind of rich.

1st attempt: Very tasty recipe BUT-I only got 8 cakes in my pan. Maybe I over filled each one? Also I will make these in ramekins next time because it wasn't easy to evenly shake the cocoa powder to coat each well in a muffin pan. Made a huge mess!

These are crazy good. Maybe the richest and most chocolatey dessert I've ever had. Pretty easy to make too. The only issue I had was that it was hard to get them out of the pan in one piece. It wasn't that they were sticking - the centers were just a little too liquid to come out easily, but I didn't want to bake them longer and risk cooking the centers all the way.

Yes!!! This is top 10 of all time.
Depending on how you plate this- it can be made to look elegant or fun enough to appeal to a pack of kids.
I wanted something flavorful enough to follow a fish dinner. But, by request, it had to be chocolate instead of the more typical citrus dessert. These muffins couldn't have been more perfect. I served with vanilla bean ice cream and shaved a little milk-chocolate on top of muffins for visual interest.
I used parchment paper on the bottoms but, my one test muffin without popped right out. (Maybe any issues posted have to do with material or quality of the muffin pan?

I am really bad at baking, but I made these for valentines day dinner and what can I say I impressed myself!! they came out perfectly!! they did not deflate because I beat the batter by hand, and I chilled the mixture in the fridge for a good 1 hour. Used 4 Tablespoons of Flour and skipped the cocoa powder! excelled thanks Alton you are my hero!

made them last night, and my family and I looovee them!!
very chocolatey, moist, delicious. My mom thought of them as brownies :P
the only thing i thought was a little off was that they were a little bit too sweet. besides that, i really love them and would definitely make them again!!
