Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray, ensuring to wipe away any excess from the top of the tin. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until well combined. This ensures even distribution of the dry ingredients. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs and egg yolk on medium-high speed until light and frothy. Gradually stream in the granulated sugar while continuing to beat. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Continue beating until the mixture is pale, thick, and forms ribbons when the whisk is lifted. This step is crucial for creating a light and airy texture. (8 minutes)

04

Step

Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the vegetable oil until just combined. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix at this stage. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until only a few streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to tough muffins. Fold in 3/4 of the semi-sweet chocolate chips. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips evenly over the tops of the muffins, followed by a generous sprinkle of coarse sugar for added sparkle and texture. (7 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, or with melted chocolate. (20 minutes)

08

Step

Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from becoming soggy. (15 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, use high-quality Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
Don't overmix the batter, as this will develop the gluten and result in tough muffins.
Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
