Ingredients you’ll need
Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these muffins. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.
- Plain/all-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Large eggs: You’ll need 2.
- Caster/granulated sugar
- Buttermilk: See my recipe notes below on how to make your own. OR you can replace with plain yogurt, sour cream, or whole milk.
- Vegetable oil
- Vanilla extract
- Whole blueberries: Fresh or frozen.
- Chocolate chips: You can use milk, dark, or semi-sweet.
How to make Blueberry Chocolate Chip Muffins
To make these muffins, simply whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thick and light in colour.
Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined.
Add the dry ingredients in thirds and fold in until just combined – do not overmix.
Fold in the blueberries and chocolate chips. The mixture will be thick and somewhat lumpy.
Spoon the mixture into a muffin pan lined with muffin cases (filling to the tops), and bake for 15 – 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 5 – 10 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
The printable recipe card with the FULL list of ingredients and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.
NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.
Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

Absolutely delicious! I was using new oven so I was worried how the result will be, but they turned out perfectly ☺. From now on I'm using only your recipe.

I followed this recipe exactly and the muffins were not edible, too dense, like play doh. Should've read the reviews before making this. Are you sure you measured the ingredients correctly, by weight not by volume? This recipe calls for way too much flour and as someone who doesn't make muffins often it's my bad I didn't know what consistency to look for. I don't think I'll make this recipe again.

I'm sorry this recipe didn't go well for you. All of my recipes are made and tested in grams using a digital scale (I'm from the UK), so I always recommend my readers to do the same. My muffin recipes are quite heavy and dense, and the batter is on the thick side.

This recipe was bland. No flavor more like floury flavor once baked not good muffins. Don’t make.
