Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tray with muffin cups or grease them lightly with butter.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar, along with the salt. Use a hand mixer or whisk to cream them together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Add the large egg to the mixture, followed by the vanilla extract and sour cream. Beat until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.

Gradually mix in the baking soda into the wet ingredients. Then, slowly add the Bob's Red Mill baking mix, stirring until just combined and smooth.
5
Fold in the semisweet mini chocolate chips (or your choice of additions) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each to about 3/4 full. You should yield 12 regular-sized muffins or 9 larger ones.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are slightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or store them for later!
