Olympics 2024: Here’s where to get the chocolate muffins Olympians can’t get enough of

UPDATE: French bakery Coup de pates confirmed in a LinkedIn post that they are the one’s providing the viral chocolate muffins to the Olympic Village. “We knew our Maxi Muffin with Intense Chocolate was something special… but we didn’t expect it to spark such a chocolate storm! Thank you all for the love!” While it doesn’t appear that there is a way for every day fans to purchase the muffins online, they did share that food service professionals can purchase the muffins on their e-commerce site.

The Olympics have been off to an exciting start. Team USA has been winning medals left and right. But if you’re only watching the summer games on your television, you’re missing out on half the fun.

Popularized during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Olympians are taking over TikTok to share their behind the scenes experiences and what it’s really like to be an athlete living in the Olympic Village.

Some of the popular videos so far have been room tours, merchandise hauls and dining hall food reviews, the later of which has inspired a new craze of its own.

Shortly after arriving to the Olympic Village, Henrik Christiansen, an Olympic Swimmer for Norway, shared a video of him reviewing the different foods he had tried so far in the dining hall. One of the items? A chocolate muffin. “Insane. 11/10,” he rated it.

Since that initial video, Christiansen has posted 9 TikToks just about the chocolate muffins, which is over half of the 16 videos he’s uploaded since arriving in Paris.

From what Christiansen has shared, these aren’t your ordinary chocolate muffins. In addition to being a chocolate batter with chocolate chunks on top, the inside appears to have melted chocolate, similar to a molten lava cake.

Christiansen’s videos are inspiring fellow Olympic athletes to try the dessert themselves and share their own reviews.

American rock climber Colin Duffy also shared a photo post of the treat with the caption reading “You do not understand how good these muffins are.”

U.S. track and field star Gabby Thomas shared it was the best muffin she ever had, giving it a 9.8/10 rating, clarifying in her caption that she would’ve rated them higher but they had run out of them when she tried to get them earlier so she deducted points for that.

Preheat the oven to 375F. Prepare a jumbo muffin tin or 12-cup cupcake tin with liners. 2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, ¼ cup of the cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 2 cups of chocolate chips.

Prior to Coup de pates releasing an official statement, some eagle eye fans pieced together that the bakeries “Maxi Muffin Chocolat Intense” looked strikingly similar to the viral chocolate muffins.
