Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-count muffin pan with cupcake liners to prevent sticking and allow easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda until they are evenly combined, ensuring a consistent texture throughout the muffins.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate Chips and Combine Mixtures: Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the wet ingredients, then pour this mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender. Then, evenly divide the batter among the cupcake liners, filling them nearly full to achieve a nice muffin dome.
  5. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs for perfect doneness.
  6. Cool and Store: Allow the muffins to cool before storing. Keep them at room temperature in an airtight container to maintain freshness and moisture.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins; stir until ingredients are just combined.
  • Muffins can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Room temperature eggs help the batter combine better and yield better texture.
  • You can substitute half the semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips for varied flavor.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute sour cream and milk with plant-based alternatives.
