Equipment

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup hot water
1 cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs plus 1 yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup sour cream
2 ½ cups chocolate chips divided

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin or a jumbo 6-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fit with a paddle attachment, beat sugar, vegetable oil, eggs and yolk, and vanilla extract on medium until combined, about 30 seconds. Add water and beat until smooth. In three additions, add flour mixture, alternating with sour cream, until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add 2 cups of chocolate chips. Beat until just incorporated. Divide batter evenly between prepared muffin tin, filling paper liners all the way up. Sprinkle them with remaining chocolate chips.
Bake in the center of the oven until muffins have risen above the pan, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes for standard muffins, and 35 for jumbo.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

1. Preheat your oven. This may seem like a no-brainer, but it's important to make sure your oven is at the right temperature before you start baking. Otherwise, your muffins may not turn out as expected.

2. Use fresh ingredients. Using fresh ingredients is key to making great muffins. Make sure to use fresh eggs, milk, and butter for best results.

3. Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Be careful not to overmix when you're adding the wet and dry ingredients together.

4. Fill the muffin cups evenly. Filling the muffin cups evenly will help ensure that your muffins bake evenly. Use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to measure out the batter so that each cup is filled to about the same level.

5. Bake until golden brown. The key to perfect muffins is baking them until they're golden brown on top. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, but ovens vary so be sure to keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time.
