- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs

- 1 tbsp red food coloring
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, oil, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and sour cream until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Top with extra white chocolate chips.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender.
- Substitute sour cream with full-fat Greek yogurt for similar texture.
- Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Add a pinch of espresso powder for deeper chocolate flavor.
