Blueberry Chocolate Chip Muffins Ingredients

Sink your teeth into a warm, luscious bite of blueberry chocolate chip muffin, and let the flavors transport you to a heavenly state of indulgence.
The rich, velvety sweetness of the chocolate chips perfectly complements the tart, juicy bursts of blueberries, while the soft and crumbly muffin itself boasts a subtle vanilla aroma that tickles your senses.
To make these delicious baked goods, you’ll need:
For The Muffins:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup of salted butter, melted and cooled
- ¾ cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ½ cup of buttermilk
- ¾ cup of mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup of fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
For The Streusel Topping:
- ½ cup of all-purpose flour
- ½ tablespoon of baking powder
- ½ cup of packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup of salted butter, melted
- ⅓ cup of mini chocolate chips
For The Glaze:
- ½ cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of milk or heavy cream
Substitutions And Additions
FROZEN VS. FRESH: Frozen blueberries can be substituted for fresh blueberries in equal amounts. Put the frozen blueberries directly from the freezer into your batter (toss them with a tablespoon of flour first).
How To Make This Blueberry Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe
These delicious muffins are so easy to make! Once the batter is made, you can add it to each muffin liner in the pan. Top with the crunchy streusel topping before baking.
Once the muffins come out of the oven and cool, if you want to add a little bit of extra sweetness, drizzle the optional glaze over top before digging in.
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
I highly suggest using parchment paper liners for these muffins. The parchment liners peel off the baked muffins very easily, while the decorative paper liners sometimes stick to the muffins (especially the generic brands).
STEP TWO: Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
STEP THREE: Mix eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and buttermilk in a large bowl.
STEP FOUR: Take 1 tablespoon out of the flour mixture and toss it together with the blueberries.
PRO TIP:
Tossing the blueberries in flour will help prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffin batter.
STEP FIVE: Mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently, just until combined. The batter will be lumpy.
PRO TIP:
When making muffins, you want to mix the batter as little as possible once the wet and dry ingredients are combined. This will give you the most tender crumb, while overmixing will result in tough muffins.

STEP SIX: Gently fold the blueberries and mini chocolate chips into the muffin batter.

STEP SEVEN: Divide batter between the 12 muffin cups in the prepared pan.
PRO TIP:
An ice cream scoop is a great way to measure the muffin batter and fill the muffin cups while minimizing the mess.

STEP EIGHT: For the streusel, mix together flour, baking powder, and brown sugar.
STEP NINE: Pour in melted butter and mix until crumbles form.
STEP TEN: Add in the mini chocolate chips and stir to combine.

STEP ELEVEN: Sprinkle the streusel topping over the tops of the muffins. Add a few blueberries to the top of the streusel if you’d like.

STEP TWELVE: Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 7 minutes at 425°F and then turn the oven down to 350°F and bake an additional 18 to 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
PRO TIP:
The oven temperature can vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure accuracy. Make sure to keep a close eye on your muffins as the suggested baking time approaches.
STEP THIRTEEN: Cool muffins in the pan for about 5 minutes and then move them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
PRO TIP:
When you leave muffins in the muffin tin after baking, the muffins will continue baking and dry out. Let them sit for just a few minutes, and then move them out of the pan onto a wire rack.

STEP FOURTEEN: For the optional drizzle, stir together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over the top of the muffins.

How To Serve
Serve these delicious muffins for a quick breakfast on a hectic morning when you are on the go. Don’t forget to add a warm mug of homemade hot chocolate or a pumpkin spice latte to start your day.
A perfect muffin deserves an equally perfect companion. To take this from a breakfast treat to dessert, how about a dollop of whipped cream to cut through the rich chocolate? Or perhaps a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, melting slowly as it meets the still-warm pieces of muffin?
