Kids love muffins. Why? Because let’s face it, muffins are just cupcakes without the frosting. I developed a recipe that has all the bakery goodness and some dried cherries too just to make them interesting. I think the recipe I came up with is pre
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, mix flour baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine butter, sugar, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla extract.
Slowly add flour mixer to wet ingredients until just combined. Add chocolate chips and cherries and mix until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a large ice cream scoop, fill 12 muffin liners to the top. Sprinkle batter with sugar and then stick four to five chocolate chunks into the top.
Bake the muffins for 15 minutes at 450 degrees and then drop oven temperature to 350 degrees for an additional ten to twelve minutes. The muffins will puff up and have loads of chocolate goodness on top.
