These Cherry Chocolate Chip Muffins combine juicy cherries with rich chocolate chips, offering the perfect explosion of flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup maraschino cherries, drained and chopped (plus a few whole for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Mix the wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  5. Fold in the extras: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped cherries, ensuring an even distribution.
  6. Fill the muffin tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. If desired, top each with a whole cherry and extra chocolate chips.
  7. Bake the muffins: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the batter come together smoothly, ensuring even baking.
  • Don’t overmix the batter: Stir the wet and dry ingredients just until combined to avoid dense muffins.
  • Drain the cherries well: Too much liquid from the cherries can make the batter too wet, so make sure they are well-drained.
