Ingredients

Cream Cheese Filling:

8 oz cream cheese

1/4 cup sugar

Pinch of salt

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

Muffin Batter:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/4 cups sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup sour cream

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with paper or tulip liners.

  • In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and salt until smooth. Add egg, vanilla, and flour, mixing until smooth. Set aside.

  • In a large bowl, beat butter, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt, and vanilla until fluffy.

  • Add eggs one at a time, then stir in milk and sour cream.

  • Mix in the flour and chocolate chips until just combined.

  • Divide chocolate batter into muffin cups, then top each with a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture.

  • Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a little chocolate is okay).

  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For bakery-style muffins, use tulip liners to allow for a higher rise.

  • You can substitute with dark, milk, or white chocolate chips to suit your taste.

  • Make mini versions by adjusting the bake time to 18–20 minutes.

  • Let cream cheese soften before mixing for a smoother filling.
