Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ¾ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, oil, and vanilla. Add to the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  • Stir in 1 and ½ cups of the chocolate chips, reserving ½ cup for sprinkling over the tops of the muffins.
  • Divide the muffin batter evenly between the muffin cups, filling them almost to the top. Sprinkle with a few chocolate chips on each muffin.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out mostly clean with just a few crumbs. Do not overbake.

Notes

  • Jumbo muffins: You can use a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin by baking another 5 to 10 minutes longer.
  • Mini muffins: If baking in a mini muffin pan, reduce the bake time to 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Loaf pan: If baking as a chocolate loaf, bake for 50-60 minutes.
  • Make ahead: The batter can be made the night before and stored in the fridge overnight. Then scoop into the muffin pan and bake in the morning.
  • Freezing: These muffins freeze really well! Let them cool completely, then transfer to a freezer safe bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds before enjoying.
