Ingredients

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
4 Tbsp (60ml) melted unsalted butter
1 & 1/4 cups (330g) low-fat sour cream
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup fresh cherries pitted and diced small (frozen works too, see notes*)
1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and standard-size muffin pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1 Tbsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt
Toss in the cherries and chocolate chips. Set aside.
1 cup fresh cherries, 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar.
1 large egg, 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
Whisk in the melted butter, blend well. Then mix in the sour cream and vanilla. Set aside.
4 Tbsp (60ml) melted unsalted butter, 1 & 1/4 cups (330g) low-fat sour cream, 2 tsp vanilla
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix together until just combined.
Divide the batter into the prepared muffin cups and bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350°F and bake for another 20 minutes or until golden around the edges. Enjoy warm.

Notes

Leftovers can be placed in an airtight container and stored at room temperature for up 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Please note that the muffins do get soggy from the cherries after the first day. To freshen and crisp up, reheat in the oven at 350F for 5-10 minutes.

To freeze - Place the completely cooled muffins in a freezer-friendly container or ziplock bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight or on the counter for an hour, then reheat in the oven at 350F for 5-10 minutes until warm and the edges are crispy.

*Frozen cherries - Thaw and pat dry, then cut into small pieces.
