Baking these muffins is like magic. The batter rises and the chocolate chips melt, creating a delicious masterpiece. It’s like turning flour, sugar, and chocolate into gold.
When the muffins come out of the oven, they’re golden brown with chocolate chips peeking out. They look just as good as they taste. The perfect muffin is a combination of flavors and textures, and this recipe gets it just right. Each bite is tender and filled with chocolatey goodness.

Yummy Chocolate Chip Muffins
Description
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line the muffin tins with paper liners to prevent sticking.
-
For the butter and sugar mixture, melt the butter in the microwave, then in a large mixing bowl, stir it together with the sugar until they're well blended.
-
Crack in the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and milk, mixing until each ingredient is fully incorporated and the mixture has a uniform consistency.
-
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning throughout the flour.
-
Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients, folding them together gently with a spatula to form a batter with a smooth, even texture without overmixing.
-
Add a bountiful mix of semisweet and mini chocolate chips to the batter, folding them in until they are evenly distributed throughout.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow room for the muffins to rise.
-
For perfectly baked muffins, insert the muffin tray into the preheated oven and set a timer for the following durations based on muffin size: 15-18 minutes for mini muffins, 24-26 minutes for standard muffins, or 32-35 minutes for large muffins.
-
The muffins are done when they have risen to a golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
-
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
