The use of frozen cherries make these rich chocolate muffins so good. The muffins are good even without the fruit. Use raspberries in place of cherries as well. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided |
1/2 cup plus2 tablespoons cocoa |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup butter |
2 eggs, beaten |
about 1 cup milk |
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
2 cups frozen presweetened tart cherries, thawed and drained |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line 16 muffin cups.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour, 1 cup sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender.
3. Measure the beaten eggs, then add enough milk to make 11/2 cups total liquid. Stir milk and eggs into flour mixture. Then add chips and cherries, stirring only until all ingredients are combined.
4. Fill muffin cups almost full. Sprinkle remaining sugar on top of muffins. Bake 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. If using greased muffin tins, allow muffins to cool almost completely before removing.
