Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cherries for the best flavor. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before using.
  • Be sure to drain the cherries well before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent the muffins from being too soggy.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will help prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Chocolate cherry muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are moist and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor and a sweet cherry filling. Whether you are making them for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, these muffins are sure to be a hit.
