Chocolate Chip Muffins

Muffins, loaded with mini chips and topped with a sprinkle of coarse sugar.  The recipe is adapted from Sally's Baking Addiction and I made 13 regular muffins.

Ingredients:

3 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 extra large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cp sour cream
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup milk (I used 2%)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla (I used double strength pure vanilla)
1 1/2 cups mini semi sweet chocolate chips
coarse sugar for sprinkling (I had Coarse Demerara Turbinado Sugar on hand) 

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a muffin pan with nonstick baking spray.  Set aside.

Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a large bowl.  Set aside.

Whisk the eggs, sour cream and sugar together until combined.  Whisk in the milk, oil, melted butter and vanilla extract.  

Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix together gently.  Avoid overtaxing.  The batter will be thick and somewhat lumpy.  Fold in the chocolate chips.

Divide batter among prepared muffin pan, filling all the way to the top.  Sprinkle with coarse sugar.  Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes (mine were done at 23 minutes) or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean).  

Allow to cool in pan before removing.
