Expert Baking Tips
- Muffin Pan: Prep your 12-count muffin pan by lining it with parchment liners. If you don’t have liners, spray each muffin cups with cooking spray. Here are the paper liners I use for both cupcakes and muffins.
- Coat the Blueberries: Tossing the blueberries in flour helps the berries to not sink while baking.
- Muffin Batter: Fill each muffin cup just barely to the top with batter. This helps to create taller muffin tops.
- Topping: Add extra blueberries to the tops of the muffins before baking. You can also add coarse sugar too!
Ingredients Needed
Here are some notes on the ingredients we'll be using. For the full list of ingredients, look at the recipe card below.
- Flour: I used all purpose flour.
- Leavening Agents: Both baking soda and baking powder are used so that the muffins rise higher when baking.
- Milk: I used 2% milk, but you can also use your preferred milk, such as: coconut milk or even soy milk.
- Yogurt: Use either plain or vanilla yogurt. You could also use sour cream or plain greek yogurt. This helps to create soft muffins.
- Blueberries: Use either fresh or frozen.
- Chocolate Chips: I used semi sweet, but you could also use mini chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or white chocolate chips.
Instructions
Here are the step by step instructions on how to make these chocolate chip blueberry muffins.
Step 1: Dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2: Wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the white sugar, milk, yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Step 3: Combine the ingredients. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and use a rubber spatula to gently fold everything together until combined.
Step 4: Toss the blueberries. In a separate bowl, toss the blueberries with two tablespoons of flour.
Step 5: Add the rest of the ingredients. Add the blueberries and chocolate chips to the large mixing bowl and gently fold into the batter until combined.
Step 6: Bake. Divide the batter up evenly, filling each muffin tin cup just barely to the top. Bake for 18-22 minutes. Use a toothpick to check the center of the muffins for doneness.
Step 7: Cool. Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer them over to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
Storing Tips
Keep any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
