Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups (220 grams) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (35 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup (120 grams) sour cream (full-fat preferred)
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (130 grams) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly.
- In another bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs until smooth and slightly fluffy. Add sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract; mix until fully blended.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined; some lumps are okay.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 18 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Remove muffins from oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs and sour cream for best results. Fold batter gently to avoid tough muffins. Toss chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour before folding to prevent sinking. Check muffins with a toothpick starting at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking.
