What makes them so good?
How do I make blueberry chocolate muffins?
Preheat oven to 350 F.
To start making your blueberry chocolate muffins, pour ½ c neutral oil into large mixing bowl, then add 1 c dark brown sugar. Mix well together using a whisk. Then add 1 egg, ½ c milk, and 1 c Greek yogurt. Combine until mostly smooth.
After you've got your wet ingredients all incorporated it's time to add in dry your ingredients (1 c whole wheat flour, ⅔ c cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt). Whisk dry ingredients into wet ones until just incorporated.
Add ½ c of all purpose flour to 1 c frozen blueberries in a separate bowl. Stir until all blueberries are covered in flour. Add to batter. Fold blueberry/flour mixture and ¾ c chocolate chips into batter too.
Prepare muffin tin for your blueberry chocolate muffins by adding muffin cups or by spraying the tin with cooking spray. Using ⅓ cup measuring cup or scoop, fill each muffin cup with batter. Fill about ¾ full. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
Expert Tips
- Use grapeseed, canola, or vegetable oil for this blueberry chocolate muffins recipe.

- Don't have whole wheat flour? Just use all all purpose flour.
FAQ
The Kitchn says blueberry muffins, banana chocolate chip muffins, strawberry orange muffins, sour cherry chocolate chunk muffins, and loaded savory breakfast muffins are their most popular ones. These all sound delicious! I say the best muffins are these blueberry chocolate muffins! They're tart, sweet, and have chocolate in them.
The biggest differences are that cupcakes are often frosted, and muffin tops are usually bigger than cupcakes. Remember that Seinfeld episode? Muffin tops are the best!
Use baking powder and baking soda. These are both leaveners (meaning that they make baked goods rise). Also don't over-mix your batter, over-mixing it can make your muffins tough and not light or fluffy. This blueberry chocolate muffins recipe uses both, and that makes them nice and fluffy!
What can I make with leftover ingredients?
- Blueberries: Blueberry Tea Smoothie
- Chocolate chips: Double Chocolate Chip Cookies (AKA the best cookies ever), Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix
- Greek yogurt: Protein Packed Chocolate Pudding, PB Greek Yogurt Dip, or Overnight Oats with Yogurt
