Servings 18 muffins
Calories 294kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature beaten
- 1 cup sour cream at room temperature
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons canola oil or vegetable oil
- ½ cup milk preferably whole or 2%
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips reserve 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease and flour 18 muffins holes (see notes).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs, sour cream, canola oil, milk, and vanilla. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix just until almost incorporated. Add 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips. Finish mixing just until blended.
- Fill prepared muffin cups just short of the top and sprinkle the tops with the remaining chocolate chips.
- Bake for 5 minutes. Reduce oven to 350 degrees and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. But please do not confuse melted chocolate with wet batter.
- Cool for 10 minutes before carefully removing the muffins from the pan. The chocolate chips on the top will be very so soft, so take your time.
Notes
- Always grease and flour your muffin pans well. I love Baker's Joy, a nonstick baking spray containing flour. You can also use paper liners.
- You can work with one muffin pan, but keep the batter in the refrigerator while baking the first batch. Work as quickly as possible. Wash and dry your muffin pan and respray with nonstick baking spray before baking the second batch.
- Add 3/4 cup of chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts for nut lovers.
- Do not over-mix the batter. Mix just until combined so the muffins are not tough and chewy.
