Description
When we talk about bakery-style jumbo chocolate chunk muffins, we are referring to an oversized, decadent quick bread that balances a tender, cake-like crumb with an intensely golden, crisp exterior crust. Unlike traditional breakfast muffins that tend to be smaller, lighter, and less sweet, the jumbo variety leans into pure indulgence. They are specifically designed to be substantial, offering a satisfying texture that holds up against a massive amount of rich chocolate pieces.
Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
- ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120 g) sour cream or plain yogurt
Add-Ins
- 1½ cups (255 g) chocolate chunks, plus extra for topping
- 2 tbsp coarse sugar (optional, for bakery-style tops)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a jumbo muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the wells.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, oil, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks, reserving a handful for topping.
- Divide the batter evenly among 6 jumbo muffin cups, filling each nearly to the top.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chunks and coarse sugar over the tops.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) without opening the oven door.
- Continue baking for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
