Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 (10 ounce) jar red maraschino cherries
3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup confectioners' sugar
softened cream cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Directions 1. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk egg, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Drain cherries, reserving 2 tablespoons of juice for glaze (discard remaining juice or save for another use). Chop cherries; fold chips, pecans and cherries into the batter. Drop by tablespoonfuls into greased or paper-lined heart-shaped or miniature muffin cups. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-13 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Combine confectioners' sugar and reserved cherry juice to make a thin glaze; drizzle over muffins. Serve with cream cheese if desired.

Tips:

  • To ensure moist and fluffy muffins, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour. Cake flour has a lower protein content, which results in a more tender crumb.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough muffins.
  • Use fresh or frozen cherries. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • Add a streusel topping for extra flavor and texture. A streusel topping is a mixture of flour, sugar, butter, and spices that is sprinkled on top of the muffins before baking.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the muffins.

Conclusion:

Cherry chip muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these muffins for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. Whether you prefer a classic cherry muffin or one with a streusel topping, there is a recipe in this article that is sure to please everyone.
