Easy Bakery Style Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Muffins recipe. The perfect grab and go breakfast or snack idea. Perfect for school or work!
Rule #1 about buying sour cream: Do NOT buy it, then forget about it in your fridge, only to take it out 2 months after it’s expiry date, realizing that it has grown a huge green afro of mold.
I can’t believe I didn’t keep that rule in mind, even after it already happened once before.
But no matter. Since I already planned to make sour cream muffins, I couldn’t go back on my word to myself. One quick trip to the grocery store to buy a tub of sour cream and I was rolling in fluffy, sour cream infused muffins.
If you have never tried making muffins with sour cream, I would highly recommend that you give it a try. They are so fluffy, melt in your mouth good that there is no way you will be able to stop at one.

I have some sour cream lurking in my fridge right now! These muffins look delicious.
I actually LOL-ed at 'green Afro of mold'. Too funny. These look great!
I've seen these before. They look great!
I very often forget sour cream, if I need only half usually the left over half is in the fridge for a month and then I just throw it out.. 😀
Instead of buying now new sour cream for muffins I will try to remember this recipe when I have half left 😀
Cathleen, tell me about it! I have wasted many tubs of sour cream, good intentions gone to waste! Still have 1/2 a tub left, should be barely enough to try your muffins 🙂
Good thing that I only buy it when I make some cheesecakes 😀 Sour cream muffins sounds really good !
"Green afro of mold"…great description! Muffins look really good and easy to make!
Hi Cathleen, i came over from PH's blog. Love sour cream muffins! The last time i had it was years ago in Australia, ah….time to bring back the nostalgic memories and make these 🙂 thanks for sharing.

Yum much!? These muffins look super brilliant 🙂

That pretty much happens to me every time I buy sour cream unfortunately. I end up just throwing out the container without even opening it!
