Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the crushed Maltesers, distributing them evenly through the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Top each muffin with a few whole Maltesers for a decorative crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Maltesers Muffins with a cup of tea or as a sweet dessert!
