Blueberry Chocolate Chip Muffins – Homemade soft fluffy muffins made with fresh blueberries and chocolate chips. Bake them for breakfast or dessert, a summer favorite.
*Photos updated 5/11/15
Blueberries and chocolate chips in one muffin? Yup. Why? Because it’s good. That’s why. Another reason why? Because I love both chocolate chip and blueberry muffins. So why make two separate muffins when I can just roll them into one?
Brilliant. Genius. Right? Just kidding. It’s bound to have been baked before.
These gorgeous muffins are a summer favorite! I can’t describe to you how much I love chocolate. But add berries to that and it’s definitely like that precious cherry on top.
These muffins are soft, fluffy and so tender. You’ll love every bite!
As I type this my 11 year is doing research on tigers. He needs to write a thesis and fill out a graphic organizer to get started. He’s bugging me for help with filling out this organizer which is prompting him for key points.
What does this have to do with muffins you ask? Absolutely positively nothing. Which is why I’m having a hard time putting my love and thoughts into these muffins. Because I’m being asked to think about tigers and the fact that they are endangered.
Argh! How do I teach him that mom’s thoughts are not what belongs in his research? I’m trying to get him to give his best opinions and draw on what he has learned.
OK. Back to the Blueberry Chocolate Chip Muffins at hand. Ahem! There does happen to be one in my hand. Hey, a girl’s got get through the afternoon of tigers and distractions somehow!

Blueberry Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 8 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar I used Organic Sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour or white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 2 teaspoons of flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a standard-size muffin pan or line with muffin cups and spray the muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs. Stir in the milk and vanilla just until combined. Scrape down the bowl.
- In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt. Add to the creamed mixture and mix until fully combined. Do not over mix. Stir in the chocolate chips. Add the blueberries with the flour to help the blueberries not to sink while baking.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin cups to close to full. Bake muffins for about 5 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350. Continue to bake 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean.

I too loooove blueberry & chocolate chip muffins, so putting together is CLEARLY the only way to go!! you’re actually making me want to go break my diet and go get one right now 😉
Aww. Sorry Christine! You won’t regret this muffin though. 🙂
Loving your hybrid muffin! You’re a grown up, you get to add whatever ingredients you want to the muffins, *wink*. Go you! I love when I remember I’m a grown up. I’ll be at the grocery store checkout line, I see the gum and think that I would love a pack. Then I’m like, “Wait a tick, I’m an adult, I can buy some gum if I want!” It’s the best. Can’t wait to give these muffins a try. Hope your son’s report on tigers went well, that was cracking me up. (PS-Sorry for all the comments at once. I could have sworn I added you to my Reader, but looks like it didn’t take. You’re added now, phew!)
Thanks Natalie! Glad you’re here! Gotta love the benefits of being an adult, right? Although….some days I’d trade it in for a day in my kids’ shoes.
Hope you get a chance to try the ‘hybrid’ muffin!
Sometimes I feel like that’s the best part of being an adult. Chocolate chips and blueberries together in a muffin. A marriage made in foodie heaven.
Foodie heaven. I’ve never thought of such a place. A decadent one it must be. 🙂
I don’t mind blueberries & chocolate chips in my muffins! Not one bit. I love fruit and chocolate together and this looks like the perfect way to enjoy the combo. Good luck to your son (and you!) getting thru the thesis 😉
I think I should do a lot more fruit and chocolate combos. 🙂
they look yummy!
Thanks Dina!

My goodness they look fluffy and perfect! 🙂
Thanks Tamara!
Pretty much the perfect muffin to me, combining my favorites! Pinning!
Blueberries, chocolate chips, and muffins?! The triple threat. I’m down for eating a full dozen of these 🙂
I know, right? So can’t control myself around these things!
I’m a big lover of both blueberry and chocolate muffins, so I think I’d be so crazy about these. They look so darling and delicious! Gotta try them!
p.s: good luck with the essay! ;–)
Thanks Consuelo! Essay is well under way and so are the muffins. 😉
Can you substitute fresh for the frozen blue berries?
No oil?
Thanks.
Yes, it should work out find to substitute the berries. What do you mean by no oil? If you can clarify I’d be happy to help answer your question. Thanks for stopping by!
I’m all the way from Trinidad. ..in the Caribbean.. its the quickest and easiest to make. This is the first time making the an it came out awesome much respect! !
That’s awesome! Thanks so much for leaving your feedback and so glad they turned out well for you. 🙂
This recipe sounds great.I bought a lot of blueberries and was trying to see what else to make after I make a huckle (that what my BF and his Mom called blueberries)Buckle.I can’t wait to make these.I have made many muffins but this is the first recipe that it says to grease the muffin papers.Is that the right instructions? Do you spray them with oil spray,like Pam Or??Thanks
Great question Wendy. Traditional cooking spray in the muffin liners would be best or spraying or actual greasing the muffin tin. I noticed if I use cupcake liners that they tend to stick. So I either spray the muffin tin or spray the liners. Good luck! Enjoy!
This recipe was terrific. I substituted the butter for coconut oil and sprinkled organic shredded coconut on top too !
Yum yum thanks 🙂
Love the addition of the coconut. Thanks for your feedback Chelsea!
Do these freeze ok for schoollunch treats?
