👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Dry Ingredients
✅ In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2️⃣ Mix the Wet Ingredients
✅ In a large bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3️⃣ Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients
✅ Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. ✅ Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
4️⃣ Rest the Batter
✅ Cover the muffin batter with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
5️⃣ Preheat the Oven & Prepare Muffin Pan
✅ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). ✅ Line two muffin pans with 12 liners, spacing them out by lining every other cup.
6️⃣ Fill the Muffin Cups
✅ Once the batter has rested, evenly distribute it into the lined muffin cups. ✅ Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for a decadent finish.
7️⃣ Bake the Muffins
✅ Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. ✅ If baking all muffins in one pan, add 4-5 extra minutes to the baking time.
8️⃣ Cooling & Serving
✅ Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes. ✅ Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
