Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Chocolate Chip Distribution Magic 🍫
    Toss chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
  • Sour Cream Secret Weapon 🥛
    Use room temperature sour cream to create an incredibly moist and tender muffin texture that stays fresh longer.
  • Mixing Technique Mastery 🥣
    Mix wet and dry ingredients just until combined - overmixing will create tough, dense muffins with a rubbery texture.
  • Bakery-Style Top Trick 👑
    Fill muffin cups to the very top and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a professional-looking, bakery-style muffin.
  • Brown Sugar Moisture Hack 🍯
    Use a combination of granulated and light brown sugar to add depth of flavor and ensure maximum moisture in your muffins.
