Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Fresh cherries, pitted and chopped
• 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Carefully fold in the chopped cherries and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
