Chocolate Muffins Recipe
Rich, moist double chocolate muffins are loaded with cocoa and chocolate chips and baked with tall bakery-style domes. This easy batter stirs together with no mixer needed.
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour (210g)
- ⅔ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder (66g)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ¾ cup sour cream room temperature (180g)
- ½ cup whole milk room temperature (120ml)
- ½ cup vegetable oil (120ml)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips divided (360g)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- To a large bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together with a spatula until almost combined with a few streaks of flour remaining throughout the bowl. Add 1 ⅔ cups (300g) of the chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed.
- Fill each cupcake well until almost full with batter, and sprinkle with the remaining ⅓ cup (60g) of the chocolate chips.
- Bake at 425ºF for 6 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350ºF and continue baking for an additional 14-16 minutes or until the centers are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Cool the muffins out of the pan. If you let them stay in the pan until they are fully cooled, they will steam and turn soggy, making the paper wrapper stick or fall apart when you pull it away. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes in the pan, just so they are cooled slightly on the tops, then move them to a wire rack.
