Easy and Delicious Double Chocolate Muffins
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2
Line a 12-cavity muffin pan with muffin liners.
3
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until smooth and combined.
4
Add the eggs and beat for a minute longer, until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Add the sour cream and milk. Beat until fully incorporated.
5
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt to the bowl. Beat on medium-low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
6
Add the chocolate chips to the batter. Fold with a rubber spatula to evenly distribute.
7
Spoon an even amount of batter into each muffin liner.
8
Bake the muffins on middle rack of oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 15-25 minutes.
9
Check to see that muffins are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
10
Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Store leftovers at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for 3 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️Bring eggs, sour cream, milk, and butter to room temperature before mixing to ensure even incorporation and a tender, uniform crumb structure.
- Bloom Your Cocoa Powder 🍫Whisk cocoa powder with hot water or melted butter before adding to the batter to deepen chocolate flavor and eliminate any bitter, raw cocoa taste.
- Don't Overmix the Batter ✋Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until combined—overmixing develops gluten and creates dense, tough muffins instead of light, tender ones.
- Reserve Half Your Chocolate Chips 💎Fold half the chocolate chips into the batter and sprinkle the remaining half on top before baking for visual appeal and pockets of melted chocolate throughout.
- Cool in Pan Before Removing 🧊Let muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes after baking before transferring to a wire rack to prevent them from breaking apart or becoming too dense.
