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 Tablespoons; 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 1/2 cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: Coarse sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and grease a jumbo 6-count muffin pan or line with muffin liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vegetable oil, sugar, and eggs until combined. Then, whisk in the sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Avoid overmixing. Fold in the chocolate chips until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups, filling them to the top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if using.
- Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for 25-26 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.
- Store leftover muffins at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Muffins freeze well for up to 3 months.
Notes
- For extra height, make sure to fill each muffin cup all the way to the top.
- You can substitute yogurt for sour cream for a slightly tangier flavor.
- Freezing tip: Wrap each muffin individually before placing them in a freezer bag for longer storage.
