Ingredients you’ll need
You can find the exact quantities at the bottom of my post, in the recipe card.

- All purpose flour-It creates structure.
- Baking powder and baking soda-They work as a leavener to make the muffins rise.
- Salt-It brings the flavors out but you can omit if you don’t use salt.
- Eggs-They provide structure.
- Sugar–There is just enough granulated sugar.
- Unsalted butter-I melt the butter for moisture.
- Sour cream and milk-I use full fat of each. They both give moisture and create light muffins.
- Vanilla extract-Pure vanilla extract adds a great flavor.
- Chocolate chips-I use mini chocolate chips, they distribute beautifully.
Step by step instructions
First I place the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl and stir with a whisk. I set aside the bowl.

Then I mix the eggs and sugar in a medium bowl with a whisk until just combined.

Next, I add the melted butter, milk, sour cream and vanilla extract and mix with a whisk.

I pour the wet ingredients over dry ingredients-flour mixture. First I stir with a whisk and then continue with a spatula until just combined.

I add the chocolate chips and fold with a spatula.

Finally I fill parchment paper lined 12 cup muffin pan to the top with batter and bake for almost 19 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the top is lightly brown.

I let them stay in the pan for 10 minutes before serving these tall top muffins.

Enjoy these delicious chocolate chip muffins that are studded with melted chocolate chips!
