Servings: 18 Muffins
Cost: $7
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup salted butter melted
- ½ cup sour cream (room temperature)
- 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease and line 2 standard, 12-cup muffins tins (you will bake 9 muffins per tin).
- Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, sour cream, eggs milk and vanilla.
- Add granulated sugar and brown sugar and stir to combine (until sugar is dissolved).
- Add dry ingredients and stir until mixture is smooth and there are no lumps. The batter should be thick.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Fill each well in the prepared muffin pan half full (about ¼ cup batter). You can line them with cupcake liners, if desired, but it’s not necessary. I suggest baking 6 to 9 muffins in each pan – not the full 12. This helps the muffins rise.
- Bake at 375 degrees F for 17-19 minutes, or until the top is set and springs back when touched.
- Let the muffins cool slightly in the muffin pans for 5 minutes.
- Then, release the sides of the muffins. Remove each muffin and transfer it to a wire rack to cool.

Notes
Ingredient Substitutions/Notes
- All-purpose flour. gluten-free flour or cake flour can both be used in this recipe with great results. You can also substitute up to half of the flour with whole wheat pastry flour, if desired.
- Salted butter. unsalted butter or ghee work well in this recipe. You can replace up to half the butter with canola oil.
- Sour cream. full-fat Greek yogurt works in place of sour cream if necessary.
- Granulated sugar. organic cane sugar is a good replacement for conventional white sugar.
- Light brown sugar. for a richer molasses taste, use dark brown sugar.
