Chocolate Chip Crumb Muffins

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips mixed with 1 Tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, chopped (this is the remaining amount of chocolate chips in the 12 ounce bag)

Preparation

Step 1

Sift together the all purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda and kosher salt. Set aside.

In a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together the sugar, brown sugar, canola oil, eggs and vanilla extract on medium speed for about 3 minutes.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the bowl on low speed and mix until almost combined. Then fold the ingredients together with a spatula.
Add in the sour cream. You’ll need to fold, stir (gently), fold, stir, etc. Make sure the sour cream is completely mixed into the batter but don’t over mix the batter.

Mix the chocolate chips with 1 Tablespoon of all purpose flour. Add the chocolate chips to the batter. Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter.

Line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Using an ice cream scooper, scoop the batter into each muffin liner. Set the muffin pan aside while you work on the crumb topping.

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Add the diced butter and cut it into the other ingredients with a fork.

Take the remaining amount of chocolate chips in the bag and coarsely chop them up. If you still have some whole chocolate chips after chopping them, don’t worry. Add the chopped chocolate chips to the crumb topping and mix them in.
Sprinkle the crumb topping onto the muffins.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 23 minutes.

Cool the muffins in the pan for 5-10 minutes on a cooling rack. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool.

Enjoy!
