These blueberry chocolate chip muffins are the best of both words! These super soft muffins are full of mini chocolate chips and a swirl of wild blueberries. It also has a little bit of cinnamon to really up the flavors.
These moist blueberry chocolate chip muffins are SO easy to make. They are a no mixer recipe. When I was recipe testing, I tried these with fresh blueberries instead of the frozen wild blueberries.
The fresh blueberries did work, but they created really big pockets of blueberries, and I want smaller pockets to go with the mini chocolate chips.
For best results use the frozen wild blueberries!

- Ground cinnamon- The little bit of cinnamon really helps up the flavor.
- Wild blueberries- Use the frozen wild blueberries. You can use fresh if desired, but they won't look like these muffins.

- Unsalted butter- The butter needs to be melted and cooled before using.

Step By Step Instructions
Here is how to make and bake these bakery style muffins. This recipe doesn't need an electric mixer. It does need a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Bake 6 paper liners per pan. (They need to be spread out).

Expert Baking Tips
- Flour- Make sure the flour is spooned and leveled. If you stick the measuring cup into the flour, it will compact it. Compacted flour will dry out the muffins.
- Bake 6 muffins at a time, to get a bigger rise. A bigger rise also gives them a better texture.
- Be very careful when fold in the blueberries. It is very easy to over mix in the blueberries. It should look swirled in the batter.
FAQ
Make sure that the dairy ingredients are at room temperature before using. Also, the buttermilk and sour cream will help the muffins be very fluffy.
This has to do with over baking or over measuring the flour. If your oven runs hot, check the muffins early.

These were absolutely delicious. I made them for a house concert gathering and everyone loved them. I felt like the batter made more than 12. I used the parchment liners that made them look extra fancy.
Will definitely make these again.
