4. Tips for Perfect Double Chocolate Muffins

For extra moist muffins, don’t overmix the batter – stop as soon as the dry ingredients are just incorporated. Room temperature ingredients blend more easily, so take your eggs and sour cream out 30 minutes before baking. To prevent chocolate chips from sinking, toss them in a light coating of flour before folding into the batter. For an indulgent twist, try adding a tablespoon of espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor, or swap half the chocolate chips for white chocolate or peanut butter chips. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full for perfectly domed tops, and resist opening the oven door during the first 15 minutes of baking to prevent collapsed centers.
