Two of my favorite flavors in the world are white chocolate and blueberries. I like them separately of course but when they are together?
Amazing.
These moist blueberry muffins are chock full of both and they're one of my favorite muffin recipes, EVER.
Big, melty white chocolate chunks and sweet blueberries are nestled in buttery moist muffins with a crunchy streusel on top.
Every bite is full contrasting textures and flavors. When you make these your entire house is going to smell fantastic!

🥫 Storage
Here's how to store white chocolate blueberry muffins:
They'll be fine at room temperature for 3 or 4 days if you store them in an airtight container.
For longer storage freeze for up to 3 months. You can freeze them unbaked, too. Bake them from frozen - just add 5 minutes or so to total baking time.
💭 Tips
Expert Tip: I learned this muffin baking trick from Sally's Baking Addiction. Bake the muffins at 425F for 5 minutes then reduce the oven temperature to 350 and bake for another 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Frozen blueberries work, too.
- Raspberries are delicious in this recipe.
- Be sure to let the muffins cool for at least 5 to 10 minutes. They'll come out of the wrappers much easier.
- Always add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
- Don't over mix muffins - it makes them tough. There should be some lumps.
- Add lemon zest for a little extra flavor.
👩🍳 FAQs
Make sure your blueberries are as dry as possible. Toss them in a small bowl with a tablespoon or two of the flour before mixing them into the batter. This will help keep them suspended in the muffin rather than sinking to the bottom.
You may have over-mixed the batter or your oven may not be hot enough.
Don't open the oven door while the muffins are baking. It's important to make sure that your baking powder and baking soda are fresh, too.

📞 The last word
I have always loved blueberry anything. When I was about four my dad and I were headed out of town on a plane. It was early in the morning and as we drove to the airport I asked dad if we would have breakfast on the plane.
"Probably."
"I want blueberry pancakes!" I said, jumping in my seat. Those were the days before seatbelts were required.
He smiled and shook his head,"They don't do blueberry pancakes on planes."
I just grinned and said, "They will for me, Daddy!"
I think he sighed. I don't remember. What I do remember is that they served blueberry pancakes on that flight.
So, these aren't pancakes but they are blueberry muffins and they are amazing.
The crumb is tender and so buttery it's unbelievable.
The streusel gets crunchy and crumbly and the sweet white chocolate chips and juicy blueberries just dance along on your taste-buds like a team from a 1930s musical.
Addictive, delicious, simple, and they freeze well.

I'd never had homemade blueberry muffins until my daughter was a teenager and decided to make them. Now, I can never eat another boxed muffin mix again!
Helen Blanchard says
These sound incredible! I have got to make these soon! I use to get the blueberry muffins at Soup Exchange buffet. But they went out of business a few years ago. They were huge and had lots of blueberries with coarse sugar on top. Wish I could find a recipe for those now. I’ve never been able to find any blueberry muffins like that anywhere. Anyway I’m going to try this recipe cause it sounds and looks delicious. Thanks!!💗🙏

Muffins are my favorite cooking project to do with my grandchildren. They can do almost all the steps themselves, and if I supervise they almost always turn out well. This recipe would be a perfect one for them.

Hi Marye. I plan on making these muffins soon, but have a question re butter used in the muffin batter. Do you melt the butter, or cream it with the sugars? Thanks. Hope to hear from you soon.
Marye says
Oh! Melted! Thank you - I fixed it in the recipe.
Kathy says
Don’t know what happened but the tops were wonderful but the bottoms….. I sent them back three times to the oven but too liquidy - drops of ?butter in the muffin tin seeped right through the liners. Not a total disaster. I’ll break them up and serve with ice cream like a trifle but now scared to make again even though the taste was wonderful
Connie B. says

Marye says
It's used once in the muffins and once in the toppings - both instructions are in the recipe card.
Jayme Allen says
I didn't have blueberries, so I used raspberry instead. These turn out so good and yummy!
heidi says
I substitute the sugar with apple sauce and use sugar only for the topping. Still super tasty!
Bonnie says
Marye, please tell which flour you used for these muffins. Thank you
Marye says
Plain old unbleached white flour.
