Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons (71g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup (240g) sour cream, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (about 180g) chopped fresh strawberries
- 3/4 cup (135g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the Chocolate Topping:
- 4 ounces (113g) semi-sweet chocolate bar, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Prepare a 12-count muffin pan by spraying with nonstick spray or lining with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Stir in the sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. The batter will be thick. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling each to the top. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 17-19 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the muffins. Allow the chocolate to set or enjoy while warm.
Notes
- Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Freeze muffins for up to 3 months by wrapping each in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer-safe bag.
- To thaw frozen muffins, let them sit at room temperature or warm them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
