Ingredients

2 cups of chopped dark cherries (well drained if frozen)

1/2 cup of sour cream

2 eggs

2 teaspoons of vanilla

10 tablespoons of butter melted and cooled

2 cups of flour

1/2 cup of brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1 cup of chocolate chips

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Chop your cherries and drain any excess juice.

Mix your sour cream, eggs, vanilla and butter in a bowl. Set aside.

Mix the flour, baking powder and salt then add in the sugar and chocolate chips. Add in wet ingredient mixture until it's fully incorporated. Fold in the cherries. It's important not to over mix when you add the cherries because they'll bleed and make your batter pink.

Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Evenly distribute the mixture to the 12 liners. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

These are especially good served warm.
