Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, half of the cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining cocoa powder with very hot water. Stir until smooth, then add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until combined.
  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the sour cream and chocolate chips.
  5. Distribute the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for the first 5 minutes, then lower the heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 12-17 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of the muffins while they are hot, then let cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
