Moist & Fluffy Chocolate Chip Muffins
Visual learner? Watch this Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe from start to finish!
Now and then I go through an intense happy homemaker streak. I’m not sure what it is that arouses my domestic prowess, but it’s in full swing!
I’ve made a homemade breakfast every morning, ironed the kid’s clothes for the week, and dinners are on the table by 5:30.
Laundry? Check!
House? Spotless!
Currently, I have homemade elderberry syrup simmering away on the stove, and yall…I even pulled out my sewing machine to hem up some curtains.
I know, what the frick right? “Harpo who dis woman!?”
Don’t feel impressed yet though.
This stage usually lasts for about 3-5 days before I crash and burn, chile. I go back to yelling:
“We are having leftovers so stop asking me what’s for dinners!”
“Do yall not see the laundry basket overflowing? Stop stuffing clothes in there and take them to the washing machine LORD JEEZUS!!!!”
And my favorite-
“Pick these toys up off this floor! You don’t have a maid! If I have to tell yall again, these toys are going in the trash! Try me if you want to!”
Hahaha! So lets’ just all enjoy this streak while it’s hot which brings me to muffins! Oh my dear sweet new addiction, muffins.
I’ve been making all kinds of homemade muffins for our morning coffee. My hubby is a happy man right now because to him coffee + dessert is the only way to start the day.
I’m seriously starting to prefer muffins with my coffee over doughnuts! They are so easy to prepare and made in just about any flavor under the sun.
Today I want to share with you these bomb Diggity chocolate chip muffins I made yesterday.
We usually aren’t fans of adding chocolate chips to things other than chocolate chip cookies but my oh my! These were amazing!!
I followed my blueberry cream cheese muffin recipe, only swapped out the cream cheese for sour cream and blueberries for chocolate chips. Oh and nixed the lemon extract.
The results?
Heaven. A soft, moist, warm, chocolaty oasis! (sometimes my descriptions crack me up.)
The sour creams give it such a moist, dense yet fluffy texture. You could seriously get away with calling these muffins, “Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Muffins.” No one would question it because that’s what they taste like to me.
I hope you enjoy these chocolate chip muffins as much as we do!

My twelve year-old son’s absolute favorite muffin recipe and we have made countless! Thank you for the great recipe!
I never leave reviews but I just have to for this!! THANK YOU for this recipe. I have been on a mission to recreate my favorite muffin and this recipe helped me achieve it. It’s delicious with chocolate chips but i then made a second batch with blueberries and it’s literally perfect. Thank you!!! I have tried over 20 different recipes and was about to give up.
Yayy!! So glad you enjoyed them! Thanks so much for trying them out!
how long should i bake them in mini tins? these were delicious. but literally every recipe i have tried of yours is! im serious girl!do you have a cookbook?
I’ve been buying packaged mini muffins for my kids for almost two years because they like to grab them on the way out the door for school. I made these this morning since I was out of the packages. Both kids (7 and 4) have said they are better than the packaged ones, and have asked that I make these for the week instead of buying them anymore. Thank you for posting this!
These were excellent. Instead of more chocolate chips on top I put a light cinnamon sugar sprinkle. They stored great in a covered container-they were still moist 3 days later. Definitely repeatable; which my husband says if he likes a new recipe.
