Blueberry White Chocolate Chip Muffins

What's better than starting the day with the scent of blueberry muffins baking?  Ok, so there may be some other breakfast foods that will have the family scrambling downstairs to see what's for breakfast, but these muffins baking will also do the trick!

I have always loved blueberry muffins since I was a kid and My Mom made them whenever we had my friends sleepover.  Such fond memories of eating them still warm from the oven!

You could use frozen blueberries in this recipe as well, but if you are lucky enough to find fresh that's the way I'd go!  There's something amazing when you bite into a muffin and the blueberries burst with juicy goodness... it's just hard to resist!

I decided to do a few things differently with this recipe.  I've seen recipes using different types of oils that add no flavor to the muffins... so, I opted to use olive oil which does add a layer of flavor that complements the lemon zest and the blueberries beautifully.

Then, I thought... why not toss in white chocolate chips?  I prefer the Ghirardelli White Chocolate chips when I bake and they added another twist to the overall flavor in these muffins.  Definitely the right choice to add them in... I don't think milk or semi-sweet chips would complement these muffins as nicely though.

These muffins are perfect for a brunch or a weekend breakfast treat... or if you want you can enjoy one during that afternoon slump when you need a pick-me-up!
