    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!

    Why This Recipe Works

    • Easy to make- The muffin batter is made with no mixer! It does require a rest time to really let the muffin batter grow.

    Ingredient Notes

    Here are some notes on the ingredients. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.

    • 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.
    • Mini chocolate chips- Minis are best for these muffins.
    • Unsalted butter- The butter needs to be melted and cooled before using.
    • Large eggs- Pull the eggs out 2 hours before baking.
    • Sour cream- Use full fat sour cream. Pull this out 2 hours before baking. You can also use plain greek yogurt.
    • Buttermilk- Use full fat or reduced fat buttermilk. Pull this out 2 hours before baking.
    • Coarse sugar- This part is optional. I did use sugar in the raw.

    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).

    STEP 1: Mix the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, sift the all-purpose flour. Then, add in the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and white sugar. Also stir in the mini chocolate chips.

    STEP 2: Mix the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, melted butter, sour cream, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients on top of the flour mixture and use a rubber spatula to mix until just combined.

    STEP 3: Add the blueberries. Pour in the wild blueberries and fold it in gently.

    STEP 4: Rest. Cover the large mixing bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest for 45 minutes.

    STEP 5: Scoop. Use a large cookie scoop and get a heaping scoop of batter. Fill the paper liners in the muffin pan. Then, top with extra mini chocolate chips, extra blueberries, and coarse sugar.

    STEP 6: Bake. Bake for 5 minutes at 425F. Then, lower the oven temperature to 375F. Bake for another 13-15 minutes.

    Cool the muffins on a cooling rack.

    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

    What is the secret to fluffy muffins?

    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.

    Why are my muffins dry?

    This has to do with over baking or over measuring the flour. If your oven runs hot, check the muffins early.

    Can I use a mini muffins pan?

    Yes you can!

    Storing and Freezing

    Store these blueberry chocolate chip muffins in an airtight container at room temperature. Store up to 5 days.

    Freezing

    Freeze the blueberry chocolate chip muffins in an airtight container up to 30 days. Thaw for 1-2 hours before eating.

      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.
