If you think like me, it’s pretty much impossible to have too much chocolate in a single recipe. I’m willing to test the theory with this one.

Muffins are fun to eat for breakfast or any time of the day. (Stacey Little / Southern Bite)

Prep time:12 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Servings: 12

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a 12-count muffin pan with cupcake liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt and baking soda.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
4. Add the chocolate chips and the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the cupcake liners , filling them nearly full.
6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out mainly clean with a few fudgy crumbs.

Notes

For this recipe, I recommend using whole milk and full-fat sour cream.
