Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cups dried cherries
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter may still have a few lumps.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chocolate chips and dried cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, dust the tops of the muffins with powdered sugar if desired, and serve.
