Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400℉. Prepare muffin tins with 18 muffin liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, sugar, and brown sugar until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue whisking. Add the sour cream and milk and whisk just until fully incorporated and smooth.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips. Add to the wet ingredients and gently fold together just until no streaks of unmixed flour remain. Do not overmix!

Divide the batter evenly between all 18 prepared muffin liners. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top, if desired. Bake in the 400℉ preheated oven for 5 minutes. Then, turn the oven down to 350℉ and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Mini Chip Magic 🍫
Toss mini chocolate chips in a light coating of flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
Sour Cream Secret 🥛
Use room temperature sour cream to create a more even, tender crumb and ensure better incorporation with other wet ingredients.
Gentle Mixing Technique 🥣
Mix the batter just until ingredients are combined - overmixing will develop gluten and result in tough, dense muffins.
Butter Browning Trick 🧈
Slightly brown the salted butter before adding to the recipe to develop a deeper, nuttier flavor profile in your muffins.
Muffin Tin Hack 🧁
Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full and use an ice cream scoop for perfectly uniform muffins with professional-looking tops.
