Ingredients

FOR THE TOPPING:
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
FOR THE MUFFINS:
1 1/2cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter, 1 stick
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sour cream

Steps:

1. Heat oven to 375. Line regular muffin tins with 24 paper liners or line extra large muffin tins with 12 paper liners. To make topping, in mixer, fitted with paddle attachment, mix the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon and mix on low speed. Add butter and mix on low speed til crumbly. Mixture will look sandy at first, and then will bind into crumbs. This may take several minutes, so keep mixing til larger crumbs form. Add the chocolate chips and mix just til they are dispersed. You can make this topping in advance and keep it in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to a week. To make muffins, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda and salt in a bowl. Set aside. In bowl of mixer, (no need to wash the bowl after making the topping) fitted with whip attachment, beat butter on medium speed til it is light and fluffy. Then add sugar and mix well. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, and then mix in the vanilla. Add a third of the dry ingredients and mix til barely combined. The mix in a third of the sour cream. Repeat til all dry ingredients and sour cream are added and mixed til just combined. Scoop batter into lined muffin tins, filling them about halfway. Spoon topping onto tops of the muffins. Bake til muffins are cooked through and the topping is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes for regular muffins, 25 to 30 minutes for extra large muffins. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 24 regular or 12 large muffins

Tips:

For the best results, use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the muffins.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a measuring cup and then filling it with milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
Fill the muffin tins only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
