Sour Cream Double Chocolate Muffins Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips, divided

Instructions:

  1. Preparation:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line your muffin pans with cupcake liners.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Whisk these ingredients until they are well blended.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
    • Gradually sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips:
    • Fold 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate chips into the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups:
    • Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each to the top. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips over the tops of the muffins, pressing them lightly into the batter.
  7. Bake:
    • Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes. Without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue baking for another 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Cool:
    • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
