Position an oven rack in the center and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
In a small saucepan, slowly warm the 2 ounces of chocolate with 1 tablespoon of milk over low heat, stirring until it's completely melted and smooth. Set this aside to cool slightly.
Pour in the 2 large eggs, 1 cup of buttermilk, 2/3 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Finally, add the cooled melted chocolate from earlier.
Slowly mix the batter until just combined. It's important not to overmix; the batter should still look lumpy. Divide the lumpy batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups.
