Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins
Description
This recipe creates chocolate muffins by blending all-purpose flour with baking soda and salt, then combining melted semi-sweet chocolate and butter with sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream. The sour cream contributes moisture and subtle tang, improving texture.
The batter is mixed gently to maintain a tender structure, then studded with dark chocolate chips providing bursts of sweetness. Baking at 375°F for about 20 minutes produces muffins with a moist center and lightly crisped edges. Adding chocolate chips on top after baking and allowing them to melt forms a glossy chocolate topping.
These muffins work well as snacks or desserts and offer a double chocolate experience with contrasting textures from the melted and embedded chips. Cooling the muffins before serving helps set their crumb and prevents melting chocolate from becoming too messy.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and prepare a 12 count muffin pan with cupcake/muffin liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate and butter in the microwave or stove top until melted and stir until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
- Use an electric mixer on medium low speed and add the sugar, cocoa, eggs, vanilla extract and sour cream until well incorporated.
- Reduce speed to low and combine the flour mixture with the chocolate mixture until fully mixed. Gently fold in 1 cup of the dark chocolate chips, reserving ½ cup for after baking.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick or knife inserted in a middle muffin comes out mostly clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and top with the remaining chocolate chips, pressing lightly into the tops of the muffins. Allow to cool before serving.
