Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C), and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Prepare the Crumble: In a small bowl, mix together ¼ cup of softened butter, ⅓ cup sugar, and ½ cup flour until crumbly. Set aside.
Mixing
  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Add Eggs and Dairy: Beat in the eggs, then stir in the sour cream and whole milk. The mixture should be creamy and well-blended.
Combining
  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  2. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully mix in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Scoop and Fill: Spoon the batter into the muffin tins, filling each cup about ¾ full. Top each with a generous sprinkle of crumble.
  2. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. They’re done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
  3. Cool Before Serving: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy the warm, inviting aroma!

Notes

Time-Saver: Make the batter a day in advance; refrigerate and bake fresh in the morning. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough muffins. For extra warmth, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.
