Chocolate Muffin Mix Recipe
There is just something about a chocolate muffin that makes it so much more tempting to me than all of the rest. I have a feeling that thing is….. chocolate. When I imagine the perfect Chocolate Muffin, it is full of rich chocolate flavor in a moist muffin. I’ve spent many years trying to figure out how to make the perfect Chocolate Muffin Mix because all of the muffins usually turn out dry, or just don’t have that strong flavor that I’m hoping for.
I think that you will love this Chocolate Muffin Mix recipe that I’ve finally settled on. It’s easy to make and store in your pantry until the day comes that you want to enjoy a yummy muffin. Plus, thanks to the addition of sour cream in this recipe, these muffins stay moist for days and they also freeze well.
Chocolate Muffin Mix Recipe
What You Need:
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour or All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- 1 cup unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 1/2 cups Chocolate Chips
- 1 1/4 cups Sugar
Combine all of the above dry ingredients in a large bowl. Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and pour into some kind of air-tight storage container. I prefer to use Mason Jars closed with a Plastic Storage Lid. This Chocolate Muffin Mix will store for up to a year if kept in a cool, dry place with the lid in place.
When you are ready to make Chocolate Muffins with your mix, you will need:
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil (melted coconut oil or a mild olive oil work great)
- 3/4 cup Sour Cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Combine all of these ingredients with the contents of one jar of the mix. Stir well until all ingredients are combined and no dry ingredients remain.
Scoop into a greased or lined (I use the If You Care Baking Cups that are unbleached) Muffin Tin with a muffin scoop. Each jar should make 12 regular sized muffins.
Bake the muffins at 375 for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean. Enjoy warm.

Will these Chocolate Muffins make it on to your meal plan for this week?
These look delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipe! I love that they don’t have a ton of sugar either. Will be making some today as I have some chocolate chips to use up!
I hope you enjoy the recipe, Letty!
I’m a bit confused the recipe says
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil (melted coconut oil or a milk olive oil work great)
Is that milk? Or milk olive oil which I’ve never heard of
It is supposed to say “mild” olive oil. I will fix the error.
This mix would be handy to have on hand to whip up on busy mornings or for an afternoon snack.
Thanks for sharing on #TastyTuesdays.
These look so good. The best thing is I have all of the ingredients on hand so I can make them this weekend.
These look yummy! Definitely a must try for me! Anything choc is my favorite!

My son LOVE chocolate chip muffins. I guess I will be making some after seeing your yummy looking muffins. Thanks for sharing.
I am a chocolate lover and this recipe is perfect for me 🙂 Thank you for sharing at Sweet Inspiration Link Party
Can’t wait to try these! They look so good.
Your chocolate muffins look wonderful. I will be trying these out soon. Thanks for sharing at Snickerdoodle. Pinning
I am featuring your recipe at Snickerdoodle tomorrow.
Thank you for the feature Sharon!
What else could we use if we dont have sour cream on hand
You could replace the sour cream with yogurt if you have that.
I was just going to mention subbing plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream when I found your reply. I use it for so many things these days. Thanks for the recipe. I’ll try it as soon as I buy chocolate chips. 😉
These look so yummy! I am going to make them this afternoon. I will make them with goat yogurt so they are milk-free for my family member who can’t have cow’s milk. Thank you for the recipe!
No problem! I’ve made this recipe with coconut milk and they’ve turned out great 🙂
