Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup full-fat sour cream or plain yogurt, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and line or grease a muffin pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gently fold wet ingredients into dry mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
- Spoon batter into liners, filling each to the top.
- Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce oven to 350°F (177°C) and bake for another 15–16 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool muffins in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- For jumbo muffins: Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then 350°F for 25–28 minutes.
- For mini muffins: Bake at 350°F for 13–14 minutes total.
- Swap chocolate chips with white or milk chocolate for variation.
- Avoid overmixing for soft, moist muffins.
