👩🍳Recipe Notes
- To achieve light and fluffy muffins, it's important to avoid overmixing the batter.
- Simply mix the ingredients until they are just combined, as overmixing can result in dense and tough muffins.
- Remember, less is more when it comes to mixing!
- Make sure to fill the muffin cups up to two-thirds of their capacity to leave enough space for the batter to rise without spilling over the sides.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin – if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, they're ready.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from becoming soggy.
❄️Can you freeze muffins?
Freezing muffins offers the benefit of preserving their freshness, allowing you to enjoy homemade treats at any time without worrying about them going stale:
- Allow the muffins to cool completely after baking.
- Individually wrap each muffin tightly in plastic wrap or place them in airtight freezer bags.
- You can also place a layer of parchment paper between each muffin to prevent them from sticking together.
➡️Can you freeze muffins in paper liners?
Freezing muffins in their paper liners is a great way to protect them and preserve their shape for storage. When you're ready to enjoy them, simply take out the desired number of muffins from the freezer and allow them to thaw at room temperature, or if you prefer, reheat them in the oven for a warm and delicious treat.

💡 Substitutions and Variations
- Full fat sour cream is best, but you can substitute it for full fat yogurt.
- Canola oil can be used in place of the vegetable oil.
- I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can also use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chips!
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Step 1: Sift the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, oil, sour cream, and vanilla together. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture with half of the chocolate chips.
- Step 3: Mix until just combined. Fold in the remaining chocolate chips.
📌Quick Tip: Using a cookie scoop allows you to measure out the same amount of batter for each muffin. This ensures that all the muffins bake evenly and have a uniform size...plus it helps prevent spills and keeps the muffin batter from dripping and sticking to the pan.
- Step 4: Use a cookie scoop to scoop the batter into a prepared muffin tin.
Baking Instructions
- Bake for 14-17 min or until a toothpick or skewer comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes after removing them from the oven. This helps them set and prevents them from falling apart when transferring.
- Use a butter knife or offset spatula to gently loosen the edges of each muffin from the pan. This will make it easier to remove them without sticking.
- Carefully transfer the muffins from the pan to a wire cooling rack.
