Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs (room temp.)
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 cups fresh cherries (pitted and quartered)
  • 4 oz. bittersweet chocolate (chopped very finely)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
  2. Whisk together flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Pour vegetable oil into a 2 cup liquid measuring cup; add the eggs, almond extract, and enough milk to reach 2 cups. Gently whisk together ingredients in the cup with a fork or small whisk. Stir into flour mixture. Fold in cherries and chocolate. Fill muffin cups almost to the top.
  3. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or a toothpick comes out cleanly.
