Ingredients
Scale
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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-count muffin pan with cupcake liners to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together until smooth and well blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Add the chocolate chips and the wet ingredients to the dry ingredient bowl. Stir gently until just combined; avoid over mixing to ensure tender muffins.
- Fill Muffin Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each nearly full for properly sized muffins.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Store: Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing from the pan. Store at room temperature in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Do not over mix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and texture.
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt if preferred.
- For a dairy-free version, swap milk with a non-dairy alternative and use a suitable oil.
- These muffins can be frozen for up to 2 months and thawed at room temperature.
