Blueberry Chocolate Chip Muffins
With a website called muffinsandmeat, it’s time to have a muffin recipe posted. These blueberry muffins are very easy to make and the recipe doesn’t call for many ingredients. When it comes to fruit, it is always best to use fresh and organic if it is available, however when I went into my local grocer and saw that they were charging 6 dollars for a pint, I went to frozen food aisle instead. Allow the blueberries to thaw out before adding them to the batter and the muffins will still be delicious.
The recipe was originally intended for blueberry muffins, but if chocolate can be added to something I am going to add it.
