Easy Chocolate Chip Muffins

 

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons melted and cooled butter
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 large eggs at room temperature
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease the muffin cups with vegetable oil or butter.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter on high heat for about 1 minute, or until melted. Allow to cool slightly.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sour cream, oil, milk, and vanilla extract.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
6. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Fold in the chocolate chips.
8. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes:

• For extra chocolatey goodness, sprinkle additional chocolate chips over the top of the batter before baking.
• To make mini muffins, reduce the baking time to 9-11 minutes.
• Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in tough muffins.

Enjoy!
