Delicious Chocolate Muffins Recipe

Begin by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). This step is essential for ensuring an even bake throughout your muffins.

While the oven is heating, you can prepare your muffin tins by lining them with paper liners to prevent sticking.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder.

Whisk them together until you have a well-blended mixture with no clumps. This will give your muffins a good texture.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, sour cream, milk, and sunflower oil.

Make sure the mixture is smooth and homogenous, as this will ensure the muffins are moist and flavorful.

Once both mixtures are ready, gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.

If desired, fold in chocolate chips or chopped chocolate for an extra chocolatey flavor and texture.

Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
