Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream (can substitute plain Greek yogurt)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) Devil’s food cake mix
  • 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate fudge pudding mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Add-ins

  • 2 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the batter.
  2. Prepare Muffin Tins: Line 12 jumbo muffin tins with jumbo-sized paper liners to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together 3 eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully blended and smooth.
  4. Add Sour Cream: Whip in 1 cup of sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt as a substitute) until evenly combined for added moisture and tenderness.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: Using a spoon or spatula, incorporate 1 package of Devil’s food cake mix, 1 package instant chocolate fudge pudding mix, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon into the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter for bursts of melted chocolate in every bite.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared jumbo muffin liners, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  8. Top with Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips on top of each muffin for an attractive and delicious chocolate topping.
  9. Bake: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Use a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin to check doneness—it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove muffins from oven and let them cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Notes

  • Use jumbo muffin liners for best results, as these muffins are larger than standard size.
  • You can substitute sour cream with plain Greek yogurt to make the muffins slightly tangier and lower in fat.
  • Make sure not to overfill the muffin cups to prevent spilling during baking.
  • For extra texture, feel free to add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top before baking.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
