How to Make Chocolate Chunk Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a 24-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 2 large eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. In a medium bowl, gently toss together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 1/2 cups chocolate chunks.
  5. Gently fold the flour-chocolate mixture into the batter until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 17-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Sprinkle with powdered sugar (optional).
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store tightly covered at room temperature.
