Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with some paper cases. Sift the flour, and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl, then stir in the cherries, chocolate and sugar. Add the beaten eggs, yogurt and then the butter and stir to combine. It doesn’t matter if the mixture looks a bit lumpy, it’s more important not to overmix or the muffins will turn out tough.

  • step 2

    Fill the paper cases and bake for 20-25 mins until risen and golden brown. Transfer to a rack to cool. They are especially delicious eaten slightly warm.

RECIPE TIPS
HOW TO FREEZE

Pack the cold muffins in a freezer bag, seal and freeze for up to 1 month. To serve, defrost in the bag for a couple of hours then warm through on a baking sheet in an oven at 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 for 5-8 mins.

question

Hi. Can I make these with fresh cherries or other berries instead of dried?

I used fewer defrosted and strained sour cherries (approx 80g) then made the amount up with chopped almonds to absorb the extra juice compared to dried cherries. It worked fabulously.

Quick and easy to make, substituted the cherries for dried cranberries line many others have done. Lots of mixture so muffin cases were packed full but these rose beautifully. Just eaten one straight from the oven and confirm they are delicious and will definitely be making them again.

Absolutely beautiful! These muffins were so easy to make and came out perfect , so light and decadent . I didn’t have sour cherries so I used cherry pie (by mistake) and fished out the cherries from the sauce plus I only used dark chocolate. The combination of flavours was divine, my chocoholic…
