    Original post: April 2016 | Updated: February 2021

    For so many years I avoided making muffins because somehow I over-complicated them in my mind. Muffins are EASY! Especially these babies. They require very little effort on your end and pop out of the oven smelling and tasting like heaven.

    Bonus: You likely have every single ingredient sitting in your kitchen as we speak. Go look, then start baking!

    How to Make Chocolate Chip Muffins

    Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix and set aside.

    Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine egg, sugar and butter. Mix until creamy. Add sour cream and vanilla. Now slowly add in the dry ingredients until combined. Finally, fold in chocolate chips.

    Step 3

    Divide the batter between the muffin liners, filling them 3/4 of the way full. Throw some extra chocolate chips on top, for good measure!

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    FAQ About Muffins

    Are muffins healthy to eat?

    Store- or bakery-bought muffins can contain a large amount of fat and calories. Making muffins in your own kitchen allows you to greatly reduce fat and calories. It is always an option to replace half (or more) of the sugar in the recipe with another sweetener such as honey or maple syrup. Also consider cutting back on filler ingredients such as chocolate chips to make muffins healthier.

    Can muffins be frozen?

    Muffins can definitely be frozen. Place muffins in Ziploc bags and freeze for up to 3-4 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, place the Ziploc bag in the fridge or at room temperature until defrosted.

    Why don’t muffins rise?

    If you are having a hard time getting muffins to rise, consider a couple things. Keep your oven at its optimal temperature by avoiding opening the door (use the light for peeking!). Also, make sure you follow the recipe exactly as stated and that your leavening agents are fresh (purchased within the past 6 months).

    Will muffins dry out overnight?

    Muffins will dry out if left at room temperature without being properly stored. Here are a few options for storing:
    FREEZER – Make up a second batch of these muffins to pull out when you’re ready for them. Road trip? Day trip? Weekend fun? These make great snacks!
    AIR-TIGHT CONTAINER – On the counter for 3 days, in the fridge for about 5 days.

      I absolutely love this recipe. The muffins are so delicious and light. I doubled the recipe because I live with my daughter, my two grandchildren and my son-in-law. My daughter and my granddaughter really loved them. My granddaughter nearly cried when she learned they were all gone. So, I had a special request to make them again, and this time I tripled the recipe.

      I used vanilla oikos instead of sour cream because I didn’t have sour cream and these were AMAZING. Thank you!

        HiRobyn, what browser are you using? Maybe you need an update? We have instructions within the blogpost as well as available in the recipe card. Sorry it’s not showing up for you – here’s the snapshot:
        Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well and set aside.
        In a large bowl, combine egg, sugar and butter. Mix until creamy. Add sour cream and vanilla and mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
        Divide the batter between the muffin liners, filling them two-thirds of the way full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

          Yes I see those instructions. But you’re using 2 bowls and it doesn’t say to combine, which of course I did just wasn’t sure at what point I mix in the flour mixture.
