Blueberry and Strawberry Chocolate Muffins
Here I present the classic American blueberry muffins. Hope you'll enjoy the recipe!
Ingredients
Ingredients for the dough
- 115 g butter at room temperature
- 150 g sugar
- 1/2 tsp of lemon peel
- 1 tsp vanillin
- 270 g 00 flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 150 ml milk
Ingredients for the muffin topping
- 100 g blueberries
- 100 g strawberries, chopped
- 6 chocolate cubes
- Flour for flouring the fruit
Ingredient for the crumble
- 2 tbsp flour
- 5 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- To make these workmanlike muffins you will need to start by placing the room temperature butter and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk the ingredients until combined and the mixture is soft. Then add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and sift in: 1 teaspoon of vanillin, 270 g of flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
- Now divide the mixture into two parts. Now pour the fruits into two separate bowls and flour them with 2 tablespoons of flour. This will prevent the mixture from turning blue or red.
- Add the chopped strawberries to one part of the mixture and the blueberries to the other. Mix gently with a spatula.
- Pour the mixture into 12 ramekins, reaching a few millimetres below the rim. In the ramekins with the strawberry mixture add a cube of dark chocolate, so that when you go to cut them you will discover a delicious surprise inside: beautiful to the eyes, but even more to the palate!
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (394°F) static. Then prepare the crumble to sprinkle over the muffins so they look even better: in a bowl combine 2 tablespoons of flour, 5 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix with a whisk until the mixture resembles crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble over the muffins and bake in a preheated static oven for about 20 minutes. However, do the toothpick test: if you pierce a muffin the toothpick is dry then your muffins are ready.
- Take them out of the oven and wait about 30 minutes before enjoying them. Enjoy your meal!

Notes
The muffins can be stored under a glass bell at room temperature for 2-3 days, do not put them in the fridge! Otherwise you can freeze them and thaw them if needed!
