    Who doesn't love a good blueberry muffin? They're tart, sweet, and soft. I added chocolate chips and cocoa powder to turn the classic blueberry up a few notches to make the most delicious chocolatey blueberry chocolate muffins.

    How will they make your life easier?

    The go-to easy breakfasts that require zero planning are great, but they get boring fast. Break up your breakfast/snack monotony with these delicious blueberry chocolate muffins. Smear some peanut butter on them for an added protein boost.

    When you're cooking for one, it's hard to find that balance of saving time and effort by making lots of servings and having some variety so you're not eating leftovers day after day after day. You'll make 12 muffins with this recipe, but they freeze really well, so they are still great if you're cooking for one.

    Need more make-ahead breakfast ideas? These Frozen Breakfast Sandwiches, Homemade Peanut Butter Granola, and Whole Grain Zucchini Bread are all great options.

    What makes them so good?

    How do I make blueberry chocolate muffins?

    wet ingredients in a glass bowl for chocolate blueberry muffin batter

    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 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt). Whisk dry ingredients into wet ones until just incorporated.

    blueberries and flour in a small bowl

    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.

    uncooked chocolate blueberry muffins in a muffin tin

    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.
    • I used dark cocoa powder, but use what you have.
    • Don't have whole wheat flour? Just use all all purpose flour.

    FAQ

    What are the most popular muffins?

    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.

    What is the difference between a muffin and a cupcake?

    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!

    How do I make my muffins light and fluffy?

    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
