Fluffy, buttery muffins filled with chocolate chips.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
06 - 1 cup granulated sugar
07 - 1 tablespoon vanilla
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 1/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
10 - 3/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature

→ Add-ins and Topping

11 - 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
12 - coarse or decorating sugar for sprinkling

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and butter or line a 12-cavity muffin tin.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
03 - Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla, and continue mixing until combined.
04 - Turn off your mixer, scrape down the sides, and fold in the sour cream and buttermilk.
05 - Carefully fold in the flour mixture until almost combined, then stir in the chocolate chips.
06 - Fill your muffin tins to the very top, about a generous 1/3 cup each. Optionally sprinkle with extra chocolate chips and coarse sugar.
07 - Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes. Turn down the oven to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 13-15 minutes.
08 - Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Additional Information:

01 - If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 2 teaspoons of distilled vinegar with milk up to the 3/4 cup mark and let sit for 5 minutes to sour.
02 - Muffins are best if eaten the same day. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
