Ingredients you’ll need

You can find the exact quantities at the bottom of my post, in the recipe card.

Ingredients to make chocolate chip sour cream muffins.
  • 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.

Notes

* I melt the butter halfway in a medium pan over medium heat so the butter cools fast.  Once halfway melted, I remove from the heat and stir with a spoon.
