Yes, those muffins pictured are blueberry, not chocolate. As you can see, there’s a lot of blueberries in these. Combined with the lemon, the blueberry flavor is enhanced even more.
I was very pleased with this recipe, especially considering I originally sought it out so I could use leftover crême fraîche. I’ve made a few lemon muffins and blueberry muffins in the past (which I love) and this was similar to neither of those, and yet that was still a good thing.
I tend to look up recipes from various places and than make changes in order to adjust them to my taste. It can be adding a bit more of an ingredient to enhance the flavor or just more baking powder so they get fluffier. These muffins however, were perfect from the original recipe.
You might think combining blueberries and cinnamon is a little weird, which I agreed with until I tried these. The only thing I would mention is that it tones down the blueberry flavor a good bit. Not a problem though, because if you want straight-up blueberry muffins, these are great even without the topping.
You should still try them with the topping at least once though, it’s really awesome 🙂 .
