  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and buttermilk.
    2 Large eggs, ¼ cup Sour cream, 2 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract, 1 cup Buttermilk
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold the batter. Be very careful to not to overmix. It will make a very soft muffin batter.
  • Use a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop. Fill the 6 muffin liners with muffin batter. It will equal to 3 oz of muffin batter per liner. Top with a sprinkle of sugar and extra mini chocolate chips. Place plastic wrap over the muffin batter while the first set of muffins bake.
  • Bake at 425°F for 10 minutes. Turn the heat down to 375°F and bake for another 4-6 minutes. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
