Description

These Irresistible Classic Chocolate Chip Muffins are bakery-style delights with tall domes, moist crumb, and melty chocolate chips in every bite. Spiced lightly with cinnamon and made tender with sour cream, they’re the ultimate homemade muffins for breakfast, snacks, or brunch gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/3 cup (5 Tbsp; 71g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (80g) sour cream or yogurt, at room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/2 cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Grease a jumbo 6-count muffin pan or line with muffin liners.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk melted butter, oil, sugar, and eggs until combined. Add sour cream, milk, and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  4. Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Batter will be thick.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips without overmixing.
  6. Fill and Bake: Divide batter between muffin cups, filling each to the top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce to 350°F and bake 25 minutes more, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Let muffins rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Serve warm or store properly.

Notes

Use room-temperature ingredients for even mixing. Don’t overmix; a few lumps in the batter are fine. For variety, add banana for banana chocolate chip muffins, or cocoa powder for a double chocolate version. Standard muffin tins make 14–15 muffins, baked for 20 minutes total.
