- If you like chocolate, 

you're gonna love my chocolate muffin recipe. These muffins will be ready super quick, so let's get started. I'm gonna sift all the dry ingredients together. Sifting is optional,but whenever you're using cocoa powder,it's a good idea because it is always lumpy. 1 3/4 cups, 210 grams, all-purpose flour.Okay, one teaspoon of baking soda,and 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder.We want these to be really big, fluffy muffins.3/4 of a teaspoon of salt.I will say,if you're using really fine table salt for this,use half the salt because the smaller the crystals, the more salt you're adding.One cup or 100 grams of sugar 200 grams. What am I saying?Finally, 2/3 of a cup of cocoa powder, 60 grams.We can say goodbye to our scale,and sift it out Whisk it up.And then we're gonna set it asideand do the wet ingredients.Now, in a separate large bowl,you're gonna whisk together all the wet ingredients,starting with 3/4 of a cup of sour cream.If you want, you could definitely use plain yogurt instead.This gives you a little bit of tangy flavour and so much moisture and richness without having to use extra vegetable oil. Two large room temperature eggs.Room temperature ingredients are always best, if possible when you're making cakes or muffins.They help you get a more even bake.two teaspoons of vanilla extract.One and two.This recipe is based on one my mom used to make when we were growing up.She loves using sour cream in recipes because of the tang and all that moisture they add,but also because you get to use less oil.It's a very mom thing.Right now, we're gonna measure out1/2 a cup of vegetable oil,add that in,and 1/2 a cup of milk.I'm using whole milk today.Add that right in there.That's actually it for the wet ingredients.We're gonna whisk this together now until it is nice and smooth.These are gonna be a special treat for the kids after dinner,and they're gonna be so excited.They really love muffins.Any kind of muffin, they are all for.Okay,  how beautiful and smooth that looks with just a little bit of whisking.Of course, this recipe is gonna have chocolate chips.You could use milk, semi-sweet, bittersweet, whatever you'd like, and yes,you could even dump a bunch of nuts in hereif you want to.but  I'm using semi-sweet chocolate chips.And there's one thing I wanna tell you.It'll be two cups,but you're gonna reserve about 1/3 to 1/2 a cupso you can sprinkle them on top.It's gonna be the finishing touch on these and it'll make them look so beautiful.Add the dry to the wet.And one thing I wanna tell you is not to overmix this.It's not gonna the end of the worldbut whenever you're making cakes or muffins,mix until just combined so they're light, fluffy, and melt in your mouth.If you overmix,gonna be gummy and dense.Sort of fold this together with a spatula.Just gently mix it in.Once it's almost combined, add the chocolate chips. This smells so good.Right now it's almost combined.I'm gonna add the chocolate chips.That's one cup.And this is the second cup,but gonna reserve a handful. There we go. That's for the end.Okay, now fold these in.And you're gonna mix until combined.Just letting the batter rest for a couple seconds,you notice that it actually kind of came together much more.So do not overmix.Fold it in.Something about chocolate and sour cream together.It's so nice. You get the chocolate with like a little bit of a sour taste,

it's heaven.

Okay, so line your muffin tin with papers. the oven's at 425. Nice and hot.And we're gonna scoop these and fill to the brim.Normally, you might fill 2/3 of the way.Today it's all the way to the top.Scoop it up.- Scoop it up and try to be neat We're baking these at a high temperature to begin withso you get a big rise.Big rise, nice and high on these muffins.And by the by, you could totally freeze the muffinsif you wanna enjoy some now and enjoy the rest later,and it's nice to have an on-demand treat.Get all that batter out of the bowl. There's nothing gonna go to waste. Finally, we're gonna top these with the chocolate chips that we reserved. Just sprinkle them on top.You can be nice and generous with them.These are great with walnuts or pecans. what you like to add to your muffins. These are ready to go into the oven 425  or six minutes,then reduced to 350 and bake an additional 14 muffin.14 muffins? 14 minutes.Okay, in you go. That's amazing its very chocolaty and melts in mouth thanks for reading make sure you like and share it with your chocolaty family and friends have a nice day ..
