Description

These Perfectly Moist Chocolate Muffins are the perfect sweet treat with coffee!!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • Optional – 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules *see note
  • 3/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl whisk together the milk, sour cream, eggs, vanilla, and vegetable oil until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and using a rubber spatula, fold together until just combined. Add in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a handful to press into the top of the batter before baking, and stir to combine.
  4. Using a large cookie scoop (1/4 cup) fill the muffin tins almost to the top. Bake for 18 – 20 minutes until the centers are set.
  5. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

*Instant coffee in this recipe will enhance the chocolate flavor. If using, dissolve the granules into the milk before mixing the wet ingredients together.
