Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Add eggs, whisk to combine. Add sour cream, whisk until smooth.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, combine just until incorporated – do not over-mix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup almost to the top. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips and coarse sugar on top.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use full-fat sour cream for a rich, moist muffin.
  • The key to a perfect muffin is just barely mixing the ingredients. You want them to come together, but a few lumps are fine. This way they’ll stay moist and tender!
  • Garnish the tops of the muffins with extra chocolate chips and coarse sugar for a crispy topping that's a nice contrast to the moist, fluffy interior. I like to use this Wilton sugar, but any similar brand will work. It's a great topping for any muffins or scones!
  • To check if the muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the center and make sure it comes out clean. Don’t cook them for too long, or they can dry out.
