Cherry Chocolate Muffins

Print Recipe

One bowl, mix by hand, vanilla muffins filled with fresh cherries and dark chocolate chunks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (227 grams) milk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240 grams) all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (99 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cup (160 grams) chopped cherries
  • 3/4 cup (130 grams) chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 °F. Grease the cups of a 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper liners.
  2. Melt the butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until fully melted. Cool for a few minutes, then whisk in the milk, eggs, and vanilla.
  3. Stir in the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder, stirring gently just until no dry ingredients remain.
  4. Fold in the chopped cherries and chocolate chunks.
  5. Fill the muffin wells 3/4 full. Bake 16 to 20 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  6. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • To freeze, transfer fully cooled muffins to a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight at room temperature before enjoying.
  • If using frozen cherries instead of fresh, toss the cherries with an additional 1/8 cup of flour and fold into the batter while still frozen.
