moist chocolate muffins... with wild blueberries


this recipe was suggested by nine year old cecelia who loves to bake. she substituted half the chocolate chips with wild blueberries she picked herself in her forest garden.  hearing the rave reviews we had to try them for ourselves.  so, with our own just picked wild blueberries, we did just that.  well, actually, kai did the baking :-)

and the verdict?  the muffins were incredibly good, so delicious, and addictive... something about the blueberries and chocolate works perfectly. 

what you will need
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup chocolate chips (remember use half chocolate chips and half blueberries)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup chocolate chips

what to do
preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).  grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.

combine flour, sugar, 3/4 cup chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a large bowl.  whisk egg, yogurt, milk and vegetable oil in another bowl until smooth; pour into chocolate mixture and stir until batter is just blended.  fill prepared muffin cups 2/4 full and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips.

bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.  cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

i want everyone to try these muffins.  i'll be back here mid-august and i want to know if you loved them as much as we did.
