This recipe was delicious! I only had half a cup of sour cream so as another reviewer said, I also used yogurt, half a cup. Next time I make these muffins I will make two dozen because you can’t eat just one!

I just made two batches of these, and had to jump online to say how delicious they are. I'll definitely be making them again, thanks for the recipe!

Huge hit! I used Greek vanilla yogurt instead of sour cream and skipped adding the vanilla. I also completely forgot to add the melted butter.....so I brushed it over the top of the cooked muffins. I think it would work just fine without the butter. It is a tasty and forgiving recipe!

This recipe came out perfect, despite my only having reduced fat sour cream on hand. These muffins are a great alternative for chocolate chip pancakes.

Best chocolate chip muffins I’ve ever made. I used half sour cream and half Greek yogurt and semi sweet chocolate chips. Really good.

...but Ivy if I did the sour cream and lemon zest I wouldn't add the chocolate bits of any kind-I'd let the lemon&sour cream do all the talking...think it's a citrus&chocolate thing I'm not fond of ie. orange&chocolate, nope

Gorgeous recipe. My one addition was a squeeze of lemon and some lemon zest. I used chocolate chunks. This is an excellent basic muffin recipe where you can substitute the chips for your item of choice. Let's face it: Is there anything better in baked goods than sour cream (and lemon zest!)?

This is an excellent breakfast muffin that is moist and flavorful. I made them for my chocoholic daughter and her friend on Saturday morning. They both loved them. Then I took the leftovers to my adult Sunday School class where they were equally well received. Only change made was to use mini semi-sweet chips because I had them open and on hand. The mini size means each bite has some chocolate in it. Thanks for a great recipe.
