Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups 219 g all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • ½ cup 40 g Dutch-process cocoa powder (adds deep chocolate flavor)
  • 2 ½ teaspoon baking powder leavening agent
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda optional for lift
  • ½ teaspoon salt balances sweetness
  • ½ cup 112 g unsalted butter melted (for moisture)
  • 1 cup 200 g granulated white sugar (sweetener)
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature ensures even mixing
  • ½ cup 120 ml whole milk (room temperature)
  • ½ cup 122 g sour cream (adds moisture and richness)
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract for flavor
  • 1 cup 200 g mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (main chocolate component)
  • ½ cup 100 g mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (for topping)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, sour cream, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the batter to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  7. Line two muffin pans with 12 liners, spacing every other cup to ensure muffins bake evenly.
  8. After resting, scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
  9. Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  10. Allow the muffins to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
