Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Add eggs, whisk to combine. Add sour cream, whisk until smooth.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, combine just until incorporated – do not over-mix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup almost to the top. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips and coarse sugar on top.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
