Hi alexandra,
Thank you so much for posting the ultimate chocolate muffin recipe, I made it and was facinated by the results. So I went haunting for bakery style blueberry muffin recipe (that uses whole blueberries) but unfortunately I didn't find what I was looking for
And I am wondering if I adjusted the chocolate muffin recipe ( by substituting chocolate powder with corn starch or flour and chocolate chips with blueberries), would you think I would get a satisfying result <<< Ive made many recipes but they were all a failure to me ( they were OK but non of the recipes were it)
alexandra
Hi there! So glad you're enjoying the muffins as much as I did! I think if you were to sub the cocoa powder for more flour it would probably work fairly well; you could also scale down on the sugar a bit (unless you like a pretty sweet muffin), since you don't need to balance the bitterness of the cocoa.
That being said, you could also try this recipe, which I think might give you the results you're looking for, and just use blueberries in place of the chocolate chips and strawberries. It's one of the first recipes I posted here so the photos are quite mediocre (lol), but the recipe is a good one!

Thanx ❤️ Will definitely give it a try ...I might attempt doing both recipes (the one you kindly posted and the other by adjusting the chocolate muffin recipe << it just showes you how much I am in love with them) ... I am lucky to have found you and your website ?

Just a quick question...I've seen a lot of recipes call for cornstarch, is there an acceptable substitute? Perhaps honey? Thanks :-)
Crystal
Sorry meant corn syrup.

Hi Crystal,
I'm assuming you mean recipes in general, and not necessarily recipes from my blog? (The reason why I ask is very few of my recipes use corn syrup). Anyway, honey, agave, or golden syrup are often good substitutes, but it really depends on the recipe. David Lebovitz has a good post on this topic that might be helpful to you here.

Hi there
Can you please help me with converting US cups into grams. I have looked on several websites and they differ so much.
4 Cups rolled oats
1/2 Cup pecans
1/2 Cup slivered almonds
1/4 Cup oil
1/3 Cup honey
Namy thanks
Susan

Hi Susan, I hope you received my e-mail with all of the measurements. Let me know if you didn't or if you have any other questions!
