Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cups cocoa powder unsweetened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar packed, dark or light
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks, I used dark
  • ¾ cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • ¼ cup butter unsalted, melted
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prep the oven and muffin pan. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Butter a 12 muffin baking pan or line it with muffin liners.
  • Combine the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Make the batter. In another bowl, combine the sour cream, melted butter, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, vanilla extract and whisk until well incorporated. Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and using a spatula mix everything until flour is moistened, please note the batter will be a bit lumpy. Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
  • Bake. Spoon the muffin batter equally into the muffin cups, filling them all the way to the top. Transfer the muffins to the oven and bake for 5 minutes at 425°F then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Cool. Cool the muffins in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  1. I actually got 15 muffins out of this recipe, so you'll have to bake twice or if you have 2 muffins pans, fill them both and bake at the same time.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients just until they’re incorporated; don’t over-mix. This will make sure you don’t get dense muffins.
  3. Make sure you fill the cups all the way to the top with muffin batter.
  4. When testing your muffins to see if they are done, use a new toothpick for each test!
  5. Your toothpick may have some melted chocolate on it from the chips, don't confuse that for unbaked muffin batter!
