Description

Blueberry chocolate chip muffins with mini chocolate chips, soft, moist and easy to make, perfect for breakfast or a snack (makes 12 muffins).

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix and sift together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another large bowl, combine vegetable oil and granulated sugar, whisking for a few seconds. Then, add the eggs and vanilla, and whisk for about a minute.
Finish by alternately adding the dry ingredient mixture and the buttermilk in several additions until you have a homogeneous and thick batter.
Next, gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and blueberries that have been previously coated with a tablespoon of flour, mixing just enough to incorporate them.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Fill the paper liners with the muffin batter, filling them completely.
Add a few blueberries and chocolate chips on top and bake in the oven for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180°C (350°F) and continue baking for approximately 15 minutes until they are golden and well-risen on top (check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean).
Allow the blueberry muffins to cool slightly in the muffin tin before transferring them to a wire rack.
