Triple Chocolate Muffins
Sour cream chocolate muffin with dark and white chocolate chips. These muffins are soft, moist, and full of chocolatey flavors. They’re great for breakfast, or as a snack anytime of the day.
These muffins are so decadent, my husband and I had a debate about whether it was appropriate for me to say they were ideal for breakfast or not. He thinks they’re more for dessert, but I told him muffins, which are heartier than cupcakes, are designed for breakfast due to their denser texture. Also, any excuse to start your day off with chocolate is a good one to me. I am one of those people that actually thinks the world would be a sad place without chocolate, a chocolate lover you could say. Though there are people who don’t care for chocolate. I admire those people because I don’t think there’s a day that goes by where I don’t eat, or crave chocolate. It’s my weakness, and guilty pleasure. Anyways, enough about me and my chocolate obsession. 🙂
Ever since our good friends, John and Tanya bought some double chocolate muffins from Costco (yes, I said Costco), I’ve wanted to create my own chocolate muffin recipe. They were unbelievably good. I think I ate one everyday for a week straight, which is really bad, but anyways.
So, this is my version. I decided to go with a triple chocolate muffin because the more chocolate, the better. I wanted 3 distinct and different flavors, so I went with a sour cream chocolate, a bold dark chocolate, and creamy white chocolate. The end result is a soft, moist muffin, with 3 delicious chocolate flavors that compliment one another beautifully.
John and Tanya, this post is for you. Since you guys bought the muffins (why can’t I say muffins without laughing lol)

Oh, how I love chocolate! Triple Chocolate Muffins will be made soon. I always use dark chocolate cocoa powder in recipes that call for cocoa. These muffins will be so dark and yummy!
Thank you and I hope you love them as much as we do!
I so love this recipe and the beautiful server. Can you tell me where I might find the silver server?
Thanks! I actually bought it from a Safeway grocery store in AZ years ago.
Is there a substitute for sour cream?
You can use the same amount of yogurt or even mayonnaise. I hope that helps. Enjoy!
I baked these for my co-workers the other day and everyone loved them to bits!
Can you substitute the butter with canola oil? If so, should there be an adjustment with the amount of oil in the recipe?
Hi June,
Yes you can substitute the butter for canola oil. Use the same amount and follow the same instructions. Enjoy and have a great day!
I made them yesterday… SO GOOD!! Great recipe! Thanks for sharing it!
You’re welcome and thank you for your kind words. Enjoy and have a lovely weekend:)
Absolutely yummy! Just made it for my girls and they loved it!
Aww, I’m glad your girls loved them. Thanks for your feedback Irka:)
I just made your chocolate chip muffins, like one hour ago. My boys LOVED them, so of course I had to check out the rest of your muffin recipes.
I really appreciate the simplicity of the recipe and that all of the moisture isn’t from a whole bunch of oil.
I can’t wait to make these muffins!
Thank you for your kind words Susan. I hope you enjoy these ones as much as the chocolate chip muffins. Have a lovely day:)
I make these with my 6 y/o son all the time! It’s our favorite muffin recipe. Even with whole wheat flour they are super moist and soft. Thank you for creating this recipe!
You’re welcome Trina and thank you for your kind words:)
OMGoodness! This would definitely satisfy any chocolate craving. Thanks for sharing this on Merry Monday.

Oh, this is definitely for breakfast, for lunch, for dinner, for dessert, for snacks…. Because, I too, love chocolate! I’d eat one for dinner, and have one for dessert! They are lovely muffins… Wonderful recipe! 🙂
