Description

Buttery, moist muffins loaded with chocolate chips — a perfect breakfast or snack treat that’s quick and easy to make!


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use mini chocolate chips for more even distribution.
  • These muffins freeze well — wrap individually and store in an airtight container.
  • Swap sour cream with plain Greek yogurt if desired.
  • Add a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top before baking for extra crunch.
