Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with sugar, then mix in milk, sour cream, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 1/4 cups of chocolate chips, reserving the rest for topping.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use mini chocolate chips for more even distribution.
  • Sprinkle coarse sugar on top for a crunchy bakery-style finish.
  • Add chopped nuts or a dash of cinnamon for variation.
  • Replace half the flour with whole wheat for a heartier muffin.
  • Freeze muffins for up to 2 months for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
