This month is just flying by but I'm excited to be joining the #MuffinMonday bakers again! I had a grocery pickup list mishap and ended up with two containers of sour cream so went searching on the Taste of Home site for recipes and found these Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Muffins.
I liked that it called for melted butter instead of softened because the temps have been crazy and it's too easy for me to miss the "softened" window and end up at the "liquified" point.
Instead of the full size chocolate chips I went with mini semi sweet chocolate chips. You could use any kind of chips you like, actually, mint, dark, cinnamon, they'd all work. Mini M&Ms would be awesome too.
I pulled out a few tablespoons of the flour mixture and tossed them with the mini chips in a small bowl. That's a trick I learned from my Gram to keep things from sinking to the bottom of baked goods.
Normally I sprinkle the tops of muffins with some raw sugar but for these I threw on some additional mini chips. I like people to know instantly what kind of muffins they are.
These were a big hit here and they'll be great in mini size for lunchbox treats. Thanks so much to Stacy for hosting #MuffinMonday and to all the other awesome bloggers who shared recipes today, be sure to go check out what they made using the links down below!
