Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 grams) plus one tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- zest of one small orange
- 1 cup low-fat yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- juice of one small orange about 2 tablespoons
- ½ cup (1 stick or 113 grams) unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest.
- In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and orange juice and whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients from the bowl and the melted butter into the dry ingredients and stir just until all visible flour has been stirred in. Do not over-mix.
- Toss the blueberries in the extra tablespoon of flour, and then gently fold the blueberries and chocolate chips into the muffin mixture.
- Use a large cookie scoop or spoon to divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes before serving, or transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
- Either fresh or frozen blueberries can be used in these blueberry chocolate chip muffins. Frozen blueberries will release liquid as they defrost, turning the muffins purple. To prevent this, keep them in the freezer until right before adding them to the muffin mixture.
- As with all things made with the "muffin method," please avoid over-mixing the batter.
