A lot of you will have seen this posted on my LJ, but I thought I'd post the recipe here anyway. These are my all-time favourite muffins, and very easy to do.


Black Cherry-Choc Chip Muffins

1 egg
1 tspn vanilla essence
1/3 cup white sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup sour cream or yoghurt
1/2 cup melted butter (unsalted)
60g chocolate chips (I use white, but you can obviously use milk or dark)
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 tspns baking powder
1 x 375g tin black pitted cherries, drained

Line muffin tins with muffin cases (trust me, this works best; it doesn't matter how well you grease the tin, the muffins end up sticking) and preheat the oven to 190°C. This recipe makes approximately 12 muffins.

Put the first seven ingredients into a bowl and mix well, then add the remaining ingredients except the cherries and blend until just mixed. Fold in the cherries, but do not overmix. Two-thirds fill the muffin tins and bake for 15-20 mins.
