There was about 250 g (1 cup) sour cream left in the fridge from one of the two birthday cakes that were baked for me. Since sour cream on its own isn’t really appreciated in this household, and I hate wasting food, I decided to use it in a muffin recipe. After searching online, I found a suitable candidate.
These muffins are chocolatey, incredibly moist and easy to make. They freeze well, and are perfect for packed lunches.
