Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Chocolate

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (for sprinkling on top)

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing the cups to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the melted unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, whole milk, and sour cream until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender muffins. Fold in the 1 1/2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips carefully.
  5. Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  6. Add Topping (Optional): Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of coarse sugar on top of each muffin for added texture and sweetness, if desired.
  7. Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
  • You can substitute whole milk with buttermilk for a slight tang and extra moisture.
  • For a dairy-free option, use plant-based milk and butter substitutes.
  • Coarse sugar topping adds a pleasant crunch but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
