Oh So Tasty!

DOUBLE Chocolate Muffins!

Since I am a little greedy on my chocolate intake bit… I decided to make this. I made these two times in two days. These were simply DELISH! I’m into muffins lately so yeah. But seriously, if you love double chocolate muffins you MUST give this recipe a try.

You’ll need:

3 ounces unsweetened chocolate (about 4 big blocks of unsweetened chocolate, I used non-modified chocolate which is very great for this, however if you do use sweetened chocolate you have to adjust the amount of sugar.)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk (Using low-fat milk works well)
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips (I used 3/4 a bag and there was PLENTY of chocolate chips!)
Additional semisweet chocolate chips, for topping muffins (optional)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). Spray 6 giant-size muffin cups or 12 regular muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray (I got 18 muffins out of this one! Amazing, right?), or line muffin cups with muffin or cupcake liners.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate in the microwave on medium-high heat for 25 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Set aside.

In a large bowl of an electric mixer, cream sugar and butter. Beat in eggs, then add sour cream and milk. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Pour flour mixture into butter mixture and stir together by hand. Stir in melted chocolate, then chocolate chips.

Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters of the way full with batter, and if desired sprinkle some chocolate chips over top of batter. Bake for about 20 minutes for standard-sized muffins or 25 minutes for giant muffins, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer muffins to wire rack to cool completely. Muffins are best eaten fresh.

I modified it by adding more sugar the second time. Up to 1.5 cups but it’s perfectly amazing just the way it is.

Happy Cooking!
