Chocolate-cherry muffins

 

Nothing says summer more than a huge bowl of ripe cherries shining in the sun.  I used fresh pitted cherries in this recipe but frozen cherries will work nicely.  Raspberries would also be good in this recipe.

Chocolate-cherry muffins

2 cups all-purpose flour

6 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1/2 cup melted butter

2/3 cup milk

2 cups cherries pitted

2/3 cup chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Grease and line a muffin tin.

In a bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.  Add the oats and blend.  Set aside.

In another bowl, mix the eggs and brown sugar.  Add the melted butter and combine.  In alternating additions, add the flour mixture and milk.  Add the cherries and chocolate chips.  Divide the batter between the muffin cups and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

These looked so good...and I had fresh BC bing cherries in the fridge...the hubby was out golfing...so I whipped up a batch. They are baking in the oven now.

Thanx!
