The best blueberry and chocolate chip muffins. These muffins are so yummy and delicious. It’s the perfect breakfast as well as snack for any other time of the day. Bake these muffins up in the morning and wake everyone up with the amazing smell.

Muffins are always a great treat to have just because you can choose from a whole range of ingredients to make them the way you want. Go for savory muffins or sweet muffins…yummy muffins all the way….

What’s the difference between a muffin and a cake??

Well muffins are really a type of bread. The texture is a lot more denser to that of a cake. Where cakes are light, fluffy and much sweeter too. Muffins have a much chewier texture with a moist crumb and once baked you will find a few holes spread throughout. Best thing about muffins is that you can actually enjoy this for breakfast especially when you just want to have something easy to pick up and take to go.

Here in this recipe I chose to make blueberry and chocolate chip muffins. There’s always blueberries in my house and I like to add them in most of my sweet recipes. Check out my recipe for homemade blueberry jam. Remember you can always use frozen blueberries if you don’t have fresh ones. The blueberries look great in the muffins, bursting up while baking. The extra addition of the chocolate chips are just the perfect ingredient to go with the blueberries. Both ingredients together give the muffin a sweet taste and a mix of textures too.

Also instead of using milk chocolate chips I went for semi sweet chocolate chips just because it balances out the flavor especially with the blueberries. These two ingredients combine together really well and make the muffins that much more tastier . Not to forget you can also tempt the kiddos to eat these muffins too!!

This Blueberry and chocolate chip muffin recipe is pretty easy to follow. Requires minimal work and really just involves adding and mixing ingredients together.

Another essential ingredient to make this muffin even more tastier

One more ingredient that I decided to use was dark brown soft sugar. This gives the muffins a nice dark golden brown color and a robust flavor almost like toffee and caramel. It’s super yummy and brings the muffins together beautifully.
