In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Mix in the sour cream, then add the remaining dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.

Step 9

Divide the batter evenly among the lined cupcake cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve plain or with your favorite frosting for an extra indulgence!
