Chocolate Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients

Muffin

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk (can substitute 1 cup milk + 1 Tablespoon vinegar)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup heaping cup fresh blueberries

Topping (Optional)

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2-3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Muffin
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
Step 2
Line muffin pans with standard paper liners or grease pan.
Step 3
Melted Chocolate & Sugar
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate until smooth over medium heat. Stir constantly. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
Blueberries in the pot
Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Gently fold in flour and baking soda just until blended. It will be a little lumpy, but go ahead and fold in the blueberries.
Step 5
Chocolate Blueberry Muffins
Spoon the batter into the muffin liners, filling it 3/4 full. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
Topping
Step 6
Optional - Melt chocolate and butter in the microwave just until it melts. Stir. Drizzle onto the tops of the muffins. I used a pastry bag.
