- Flour: All-purpose flour is perfect for light and tender muffins. If needed, you can use cake flour.
- Leavening Agents: This combination ensures an airy and tender texture for the muffins. Baking powder helps the batter rise, while baking soda contributes to its lightness.
- Salt: A small pinch of salt enhances the flavors without making the muffins salty.
- Oil: Oil adds tenderness and lightness to the batter, You can also use melted butter that has been cooled, or a mixture of softened butter and oil.
- Sugar: Fine granulated white sugar provides the necessary sweetness for these delectable muffins. You can also use light brown sugar to lightly flavor the muffins.
- Vanilla: Vanilla extract or vanilla bean seeds offer a fragrant and delightfully sweet flavor.
- Buttermilk: buttermilk ensures tender and moist muffins. If needed, substitutions are possible, such as using milk mixed with white vinegar or lemon juice, sour cream, plain yogurt or Greek yogurt.
- Blueberries: Blueberries bring a fruity and tangy touch, along with a beautiful purple color. You can use fresh blueberries or frozen berries.
- Mini Chocolate Chips: Chocolate chips melt into the muffin batter, creating swirls of chocolatey goodness. You can choose between dark chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or white chocolate chips.
- Lemon juice: Optionally, add half of fresh lemon juice to brighten up the flavors in your blueberry muffins.
How to make chocolate chip blueberry muffins
Mixing wet ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine vegetable oil with granulated sugar.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk again to incorporate them.
Add dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, mix together and sift the dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Then gently fold in the flour mixture with a whisk or rubber spatula and mix until you have a thick muffin batter.
- Finish by folding in the blueberries, which have been previously coated with a tablespoon of flour.
- Then, add the chocolate chips or chocolate chunks and mix just enough to incorporate them.
Baking muffins
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a muffin pan with muffin cups.
- Pour the muffin batter into the liners, making sure to fill them completely.
- Add some blueberries and chocolate chips on the tops of the muffins.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180°C (356°F) and continue baking for about 15 minutes until they are large and golden on top.
- Allow the blueberry muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the molds and letting them cool completely on a wire rack.
Storage and Freeze
In the fridge: Store blueberry chocolate chip muffins at room temperature in an airtight container or under plastic wrap for about 4-5 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week in a storage container.
In the freezer: Once they are completely cooled, place them in a storage container or in a freezer bag and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let them thaw gently at room temperature before warming them up in the oven for a bit.
Tips for this recipe
- Ingredients at room temperature: Ensure that all ingredients, such as eggs and butter, are at room temperature for better incorporation and a homogeneous texture to get the best results.
- Sift the dry ingredients together: Before incorporating the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, sift them together (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt) to prevent lumps.
- Avoid overmixing the batter: Mix the batter just enough to combine the ingredients. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the muffins dense.
- Fill the cupcake liners to the brim: Fill the paper liners completely with batter to achieve large, plump, and uniform muffins.
- Bake at a high temperature for beautiful domes: Preheat the oven to a high temperature to allow the muffins to develop beautiful domes at the beginning of baking. Then, lower the temperature to cook the interior gently.
- Cool on a cake rack: Once baked, let the muffins cool on a cake rack rather than in the muffin tin to prevent the bottoms from becoming too moist.
Recipe Variations
- Double Chocolate Blueberry Muffins: Make my chocolate muffin recipe by adding blueberries to it for a delicious blueberry chocolate muffin recipe.
- Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffins: Swap blueberries for fresh or frozen raspberries to enjoy a fruity, tangy flavor paired with dark chocolate.
- Blueberry Walnut Chocolate Chip Muffins: Incorporate chopped walnuts into the batter for a crunchy texture and a nutty taste that complements the chocolate chips perfectly.
- Banana Blueberry Muffins: Mix in banana puree for natural sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the blueberries.
- Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins: Add oats to the batter for extra nutrition and a touch of crunch.
- Blueberry Gluten-Free Muffins: Use gluten-free flour or a gluten-free flour blend for a version suitable for those with gluten intolerance.
- Blueberry Chocolate Chip Crumble Muffins: Add a streusel topping on top of the muffins as in my blueberry crumble muffin recipe, for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
- Add a Lemon Glaze: Like these recipes for lemon muffins with glaze or these lemon poppy seed muffins with glaze.
