This is my go-to recipe for a basic sour cream muffin. It’s wonderful with add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, spices or berries.
Basic Sour Cream Muffins
1 stick of unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
4 large eggs (or 8 egg whites + 4 tsp. oil)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 c. sour cream
2 3/4 c/ all purpose flour
1/2 cup of add-ins (chocolate chips, any berries, raisins, nuts, etc.)
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Grease the muffin cups or line with paper liners.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and creamy, about a minute. Next, beat in the vanilla, eggs, salt and baking soda.
Next, fold in the sour cream.
Now fold in the flour and any of the add-ins that you have chosen.
Scoop batter into muffin cups. Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.
Allow to cool for about 10 minutes in pan.
Remove from pan and allow to completely cool on wire rack. Makes 24 muffins.
