Hi Dina,

These are not Einstein Bagels but I do have an idea for you. This blueberry muffin recipe is exceptional. The muffins rival bakery goods in size and taste. If you want to make chocolate chip muffins I would suggest omitting the blueberries in this recipe and replacing them with 1 cup of chocolate chips. Remember to toss the chips in flour and coat them well before you fold them into the batter! This keeps them from sinking to the bottom.
