How to make Cherry Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients:
- all purpose flour
- granola (I like to use the small crumbs left at the bottom of the bag.)
- sugar
- baking soda
- salt
- egg
- buttermilk
- vegetable oil (or another oil that is liquid at room temperature)
- vanilla extract
- almonds
- chocolate chips
- maraschino cherries
Combine dry ingredients in large bowl. Beat together egg, buttermilk, oil and vanilla in a small bowl. Add to dry ingredients with nuts and chips. Stir just until moistened. Fold in cherries gently.
Fill greased or paper lined muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake at 350° for about 15 minutes. Cool in pans for about 5 minutes before removing to cooling racks.
How to store chocolate chip cherry muffins:
These muffins will keep for 2-3 days at room temperature in an airtight container. If you want to store them longer, they freeze really well. I put mine in gallon freezer ziplock bags. They will keep for about 2 months in the freezer.
