What could be easier than dressing up a muffin by adding chocolate and dried fruit? I thought chocolate and cherries might go well together (since I happen to like cherry cordials.) I can't decide which is better: the chocolate chips or the cherries. Read more . Luckily, with this muffin, I don't have to!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup chocolate chips (you can use milk chocolate, though i used semi-sweet)
1/2 cup dried cherries, roughly chopped
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
2. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners
3. Into a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Melt butter and in a small bowl whisk together with sour cream, milk, egg, and vanilla.
5. Stir butter mixture, chocolate chips, and cherries into flour mixture just until combined (don't overmix, please!)
6. Using a 1/3 measuring cup, scoop muffin mix into lined muffin cups.
7. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean.
