Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use yogurt instead of sour cream?

Yes! Full-fat plain yogurt works perfectly and still gives you that moist texture.

Why do my muffins sink in the middle?

Usually from overmixing or underbaking. Also, don’t open the oven too soon — wait until 3/4 through the baking time before peeking.

Can I make mini muffins with this recipe?

Yes. Fill mini muffin tins 3/4 full and bake at 350°F (no temperature change needed) for about 10–12 minutes.

What’s the best cocoa powder for these muffins?

Use unsweetened natural cocoa powder, not Dutch-processed. It reacts properly with baking powder and gives a balanced chocolate flavor.
