How to Say "Blueberry Muffin" in French

muffin aux myrtilles

The English phrase "blueberry muffin" is translated into French as muffin aux myrtilles.

A blueberry muffin is a small cake baked in a cup-shaped pan containing blueberries.

What does it mean word for word?

The part aux myrtilles literally means "with blueberries" or "to the blueberries". The word aux is a contraction of à (with/to) and les (the).

The variation muffin à la myrtille is also used to refer to a blueberry muffin.

In Quebec, it is common to use muffin aux bleuets instead of using myrtilles.

To make the phrase plural, such as "blueberry muffins", add an s to the word muffin but do not change aux myrtilles.

While muffin is used for the cake, the English 'muffin' that is sliced and toasted is called a muffin anglais in French to avoid confusion.
The contraction aux in muffin aux myrtilles is a linguistic survivor from the Old French word als, which combined a preposition and an article.
In many English-speaking countries, a 'muffin' can be a savory bread, but in French, the word is strictly reserved for sweet, cupcake-style cakes.
