Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup full fat sour cream or yogurt, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
How To Make Homemade Double Chocolate Muffins
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven – Preheat your oven to 425°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing the cups lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients – In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and cocoa throughout the batter. Add chocolate chips and stir then set aside.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients – In a separate bowl, add eggs, sour cream or yogurt, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Step 4: Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients – Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
Step 5: Fill Muffin Cups – Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. This ensures that the muffins rise properly and have a nice domed top.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection – Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees. Once the 5 minutes has passed then turn down the temperature to 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes. Muffins are done once a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. Avoid overbaking, as it can result in dry muffins.
Step 7: Cool and Enjoy – Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. These Homemade Double Chocolate Muffins are best enjoyed warm, with a glass of cold milk!
