A few days ago, the blueberry farm down the street from us finally opened! Yay! We’ve been waiting…oh so patiently waiting for it to open. I don’t know why, but I find picking berries so fun and lucky for me I have a berry picking partner in my youngest daughter. She ended up picking the majority of the berries and we quickly filled up the bottom of her bucket, paid the $5 for the pint of berries, and rushed home to make some chocolate blueberry muffins.
I really wanted to try something a little different, so I picked out this Chocolate Blueberry Muffin recipe from “best-ever COOKIE BOOK” and adapted it slightly. The recipe gives the option of drizzling chocolate on the tops of the muffins and while my kids liked it, my husband preferred to have his plain. I have to agree with him. To me, this tasted better with just a pat of butter and served warm. YUM-O!
Chocolate Blueberry Muffins
Chocolate Blueberry muffins recipe.
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
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Line muffin pans with standard paper liners or grease pan.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate until smooth over medium heat. Stir constantly. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
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. 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 - 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.

We miss you at The Yuck Stops Here, I see you are VERY busy! I would love it if you would bring your yummy recipe over and link up with us this week! Hope you’re doing well! HUGS
Hi Cheryl. I already linked up 🙂 I’ll support the party whenever I can.
Those muffins look so good! And the berry picking sounds like a lot of fun 🙂
These muffins look so good. I might have to slip the recipe to my kids. I love blueberries and chocolate! Thanks! (found you on the great blog train)
I wish we had a farm to pick fresh blueberries nearby because we all just love them and they are so expensive in the store. Blueberry muffins are my husband’s favorite. I like your blog theme, very pretty!
Well, it’s kind of expensive to pick on the farm too, but I just like being able to do something with the kids that’s fun and something they’ll remember when they’re all grown up. Thanks for stopping by.
The muffins look great, blueberry is a favourite of mine. Thanks for hosting the party, I’m about to link up now. I’d love for you to link up these yummy muffins with us at Sweet and Savoury Sunday this weekend 🙂
Erlene, I love picking berries!!! My family always picked blackberries when the season opened. My mom would make the BEST blackberry crumble. You have to be dedicated to pick those berries because of the thorns (and of course the best berries are usually buried deep within a ton of thorns), but a few scratches were worth it for the dessert!
Thanks for sharing on Hump Day Happenings : )
What a great blog! Your pictures are fantastic not to mention your recipe. Thank you for sharing it on our Four Seasons Blog Hop.
Thank you for continuing to link up with Orchard Girls and I for What We Eat Wednesday! I’ve pinned your tasty creation on my WWEW Board. See you next week! 🙂

These could be dangerous in my house! I cant wait to get the garden going for fresh berries this year. Stopping by from Tasty Tuesdays!
I want to grow berries too, but I think I’m too late to harvest for this year. Thanks goodness the blueberry farm is just down the street.
Wow! I never thought of combining chocolate and blueberries – I definitely need to try it.
Great recipe and love link ups!!!
Thanks so much for linking up at Share Your Stuff Tuesdays!!! Please do come back next week & link up again 🙂

Oh my goodness your muffins look delicious! Thanks for hosting the party and have a wonderful week.
Love this recipe… blueberries are coming into season here, so I’ll get out there and pick some! Thanks for choosing!
I love picking berries and will probably go back again to the farm. I also want to go to a strawberry farm too. The recipe has a very light chocolate flavor and it’s really good with butter.
Nothing better than picking and then cooking it up! Those look delicious!
Those muffins look so good! Thanks for cohosting this month with me. I really appreciate it.
These look delicious. Love blueberries and chocolate together! Yum!
